Portraits On Clothes
'The time may come when every boy will have his photograph printed on his shirt, and every girl hers on her dress, if only for ease in identification in the laundry! It is now' possible to “print” photographs on any ordinary dress of white or pale shade of silk, cotton, nylon, or linen, and to wash the garments as often as necessary without the pictures disappearing. By a new American process ordinary photographs can be transfered, and this should provide scope for new designs of a personal nature. It entails attaching transparencies of the scene to the glass rollers of a new sort of “press.” The cloth is dipped in light-sensitive dyes, and then run through the “press.” Mercury vapour lamps inside the glass rollers transmit the image to the cloth as it travels through, and the cloth is then developed, fixed, rinsed, and washed in the same way as an ordinary photograph, before being dried.
