follows:
A combined postal letter card and picture mount for small pictures produced
by photography or other means. It forms a photographic or picture mount with
a space for writing a description of the photograph or picture, which mount can
then be folded and put away for reference, the extra flaps serving to protect the
picture, or, it may be posted in this form to any destination, it will thus act as a
combined mount, carrier and letter form or card. The card is made to fold in
three divisions, two of which are of equal size, and have the usual gummed and
perforated edges common to letter cards the third division is made slightly smaller
so that it may be folded between the other two. One or more of these divisions
may be utilized to mount pictures on.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Postal Letter Card and Picture Mount.
ALBERT THOMAS MARLES, of 37, Beckside Road, Lidget Green, Bradford.
Yorkshire, Secretary, 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 invention relates to a combined postal letter card and picture mount for
small pictures produced by photography or other means. It forms a photograph
or picture mount with a space left for writing a description of the photograph
or picture which mount can then be folded and put away for reference the extra
flaps thus serving to protect the picture or it may be posted in this form to any
desired destination. It will thus act as a combined mount carrier and letter form
saving the trouble of packing and writing a seperated description which might
be mislaid or lost.
The annexed drawing shows one of my combined letter cards and picture
mounts.
Figure 1 shows the card open.
Figure 2 shows the bottom part folded up.

page_text: Referring to the drawing. The card is made in three folding parts A, B, and C
and is gummed at the sides D and F. E represents the usual perforated edges.
The bottom part C is without a perforated edge and is made slightly smaller
than the parts A and B so that it may fold in between those parts. The letter
card is closed by folding up the part C as shown in Figure 2 and then closing
down part A on top of it as shown in Figure 3. The picture is preferably
mounted on part A which may be prepared with a border printed or impressed
in relief to act as a decorative frame for such picture or photograph, if however
it is desired to mount more than one picture the parts B or C may be utilized for
such purpose. The picture or photograph may be either prepared on paper or
other suitable material and afterwards made to adhere to the mount by means
of paste or other adhesive substance or it may be placed mechanically or photo-
graphically direct on to the mount.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of, of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
A combined postal letter card and picture mount made as and for the advan-
tages herein before described.
