A communication from BAILLOT D'ESTIVAUX, registering clerk, of 2 rue des
Pavillons, Chateauroux (Indre) Republic of France.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 111 Hatton Garden in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The present invention has for its object a special arrangement of photographic
views in sheets divided by a system of perforations analogous to the perforations
used for postage stamps, to enable then to be easily detached. Each sheet may
be composed of one or several views so that each division represents a certain object
or the part of the whole destined to be put together. In the latter case, the plates
may be used for children's games called games of patience. In the first case, besides
the pleasure of uniting in an album the views of all countries in the world, they
may be used for teaching geography by classifying views of towns in provinces
or in departments, or by any other similar application.
These views are attached to pages of albums adapted for their reception.
Dated this 28th day of September 1896.
