SCENERY.
With a view to obviate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (particularly in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, &c., to fix in a Drawing Room, and then only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, we have decided to keep a series of mounted Coloured Scenes which are ready for immediate use or they can be had unmounted on thirty sheets of strong paper and can be joined together or pasted on canvas or wood, according to requirement. Full directions, with diagrams shewing exact size of Back Scenes Borders, and Wings, can be had free on application. The following four scenes are kept in stock.
—The above is an illustration of this scene. It is kept in two sizes. The size of the back scene of the smaller one is 10 feet long and 6½ feet high, and extends with the wings and border to 15 feet long and 8 feet high. The back scene of the large one is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends with the Wings and Border to 20 feet long and 11½ feet high. It is not necessary to have the scene the height of the room, as blue paper to represent sky is usually hung at the top. Small size, with Wings and Border complete, 63s.; unmounted on paper sheets, 30s.; large size, mounted, 84s.; unmounted, 40s. Blue paper 2d. per sheet. small size. A double quantity would be required if used for the large scene.
—This is similar in style to the above, only a wood scene is introduced in the centre. It is kept in two sizes, as the previous scene, and blue paper can be introduced as before indicated. Small size, with Wings and Borders complete, mounted, 63s.; unmounted, 30s. Large size, mounted, 84s.; unmounted, 40s.
—This is a sheet of paper on which foliage is drawn, which can be repeated and cut in any shape that is required. Small size, 30 inches by 20 inches, 1s. per sheet; large size, 40 inches by 30 inches, 1s. 6d. per sheet.
—This is to be used with the foliage sheets and placed at the bottom of the scene.—Price and size same as foliage.
—This scene is only kept in the large size, the back scene is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends with the Wings and Borders to 20 feet long and 11½ feet high. In the centre is a French window, leading down to the ground, which could be made practicable if required. On the left wing is a fireplace with mirror above, and on the right wing is an oil painting. The whole scene tastefully ornamented and beautifully coloured, forming a most elegant picture. Should a box scene be required extra Wings can be had, consisting of doors each side, which could be made practicable. Price, with Border and one set of Wings, mounted, 84s.; unmounted, 40s.; with Border and two sets of Wings, to form box scene, mounted, 105s.; unmounted, 50s.
—This is also kept in the large size only. In the centre is a door leading outside. On the left centre is a rustic fireplace, and the right centre is a window. On the Wings are painted shelves, &c., to complete the scene. A box scene can be made by purchasing extra Wings, as before described, and forming doors on each side. Price, with Border and one set of Wings, 84s.; unmounted, 40s.; with Border and two sets of Wings, to form box scene, mounted, 105s.; unmounted, 50s.
