COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Frame or Mount for Pictures, Prints, or the like.
I, GEORGE EDWIN JENKINSON, of Pymlicoe House, Hadley Green, High
Barnet in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This my invention relates to an improved frame or mount for pictures, prints
or the like, and my invention consists of a frame composed in the following
manner.
My improved frame consists of a suitable number of strips of cardboard, mill-
board, metal, wood or other suitable material of any desired thickness, which strips
are intended to be formed into a frame of the required shape, usually rectangular
and united at the angles by means of a staple, paper-fastening, slide clasp or other
device. The said strips are preferably covered with paper or other material of an
ornamental design, and may be used advantageously for the framing of cheap prints,
children's pictures or other artistic productions of a like nature.
The frame may, if desired, have a piece of glass or other transparent material
inserted in the space enclosed thereby, the said glass or other transparent material
being secured therein by clips, adhesive strips or other convenient means.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood, reference is made to

corner by paper fasteners 6 of the ordinary and well known type. The said frame

and is adapted to receive and surround the picture or other object placed within
the said frame. The means employed for uniting the strips at the corners or
angles of the same, may be varied without departing from the spirit of my
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-

number of strips of metal, cardboard or other material, united together at their
