A London manual of 1856 by W. Williams, published by Winsor and Newton, teaching amateurs and decorators how to paint transparencies on linen for panoramas, dioramas and ornamental blinds. The pictures are plain wood-engraved views of Winsor and Newton paint boxes and a tube of Prout's brown, drawn in crisp outline with dense hatching on the metal and wood surfaces, offering a designer clean examples of ornate scrollwork lettering and boxed colour cabinets.
