Abstract:
1. An image-holder article usable as postcard, that can be sent by mail but that can also be used to display a reproduced image incorporated therein, and mailable in standard ways, comprising: a first flat sheet support made of a transparent material with the image being reproduced in a transparent region for viewing, and with two opposing edge portions of the first support including lines formed thereon and suitable for use as fold lines along which the first support is foldable to form two opposing side flaps each side flap delimited by a respective side edge of the first support and by one of the fold lines, so that said flaps are foldable to adopt either a folded configuration with respect to an initial flat orientation of the first sheet support or an extended configuration, forming a uniform plane with respect to the folded configuration of the first sheet support; and a second flat sheet support formed of a substantially flexible material, enabling it to be flexed away from said first support to assume a cambered position instead of a flat configuration, and having a longitudinal dimension such that, when said flaps are folded and the second flat sheet support is inserted between said flaps with its edges resting along said fold lines, the second flat sheet support adopts said cambered position and provides, in cooperation with said first sheet support, a support base allowing the display of said image for viewing in front of the second flat sheet support.
