Excerpt from The Parents Progress
With a view to obviate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (particularly in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, Ac, to fix in a Drawing Boom, and then only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, we have decided to keep a series of Coloured Scenes Mounted on Canvas with roller, 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 scenes are kept in stock.
Kept in two sizes. The size of the back scene of the smaller one is nearly 10 feet long and 6 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 11 1/2 feet high. It is not to have the scene the height of the room, as blue paper to represent sky is usually hung at the top.
