re Photographic Reproduction.
We would be glad if you would copy the attached water colour drawing of the front of a car, to a size of 10 ins. by 8 ins. which is suitable for incorporating in a memo.
We would like 4 prints on glossy paper and one on full Matt surface. The latter is to enable us to experiment with hand colouring.
If possible we would like the paper of the glossy or semi glossy prints to be of the thin variety as it is more convenient for memos. The one for colouring can with advantage be of the heavier type.
