EDMUND JOHN PASSINGHAM of 14 Tyrrell Street, Bradford, Yorkshire Photo-
grapher do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved card for mounting or displaying Photographs
pictures engravings or other objects and is so constructed that any such object may be
mounted or diplayed upon such card and which shall upon a level surface stand nearly
upright or inclined at a convenient angle without the necessity of being inserted in a
frame or stand.
1 cut the card in such a manner that at the, back thereof I form a triangular slip
whose base is at the bottom of the card and is of sufficient width to form a proper
support the two sides of which triangular slip do not meet at the apex but stop at a
sufficient distance so as to form a permanent attachment for the said triangular slip I
then attach by means of paste or some similar adhesive substance a second piece of
card of exactly the same size as the card so cut taking care to avoid pasting or
attaching the said triangular slip to the second piece of card and upon the surface
of the second piece of card I mount the object I intend to display.
In mounting Photographs or any other objects which have to be burnished by
rolling care must be taken in order that the triangular cut piece does not shew
through and disfigure it. In order to avoid which I allow the Photograph or other
object to thoroughly dry on my improved mount before I roll it.
Cards which have hitherto been constructed for like purposes have had separate
pieces of card or other substance secured to the back.
The benefit which is derived from my invention is its simplicity increased durability
and cheapness of manufacture.
I do not confine myself to card board as the material from which I manufacture my
said improved mount.

page_text: I EDMUND JOHN PASSINGHAM of 14 Tyrrell Street Bradford Yorkshire Photo-
grapher 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved Card for mounting or displaying Photographs,
Pictures, Engravings or other objects and is so constructed that any such object
may be mounted or displayed upon such Card and which shall upon a level surface
stand nearly upright or inclined at a convenient angle without the necessity of being
inserted in a frame or stand.
I cut the card in a such a manner that at the back thereof I form a triangular slip
whose base is at the bottom of the Card and is of sufficient width to form a proper
support, the two sides of which triangular slip do not meet at the apex but stop at a
sufficient distance so as to form a permanent attachment for the said triangular slip.
I then attach by means of paste or some similar adhesive substance a second piece of
card of exactly the same size as the card so cut taking care to avoid pasting or
attaching the said trianglar slip to the second piece of card and upon the surface of
the second piece of card I mount the object I intend to display.
And in order that my invention may be the better understood I will proceed to
explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a back view of a card for mounting photographs and the like
constructed according to my invention Figure 2 shews the piece of card to which
the photograph or other object is attached Figure 3 shews piece of card forming the
back of the mount shewing how the triangular rest is cut or formed in the same
Figure 4 is section of mounting card on line Figure 3.
a is the card forming the back the triangular slip or support e the piece of card
upon which the photograph or the like is mounted the two cards a and c being
attached firmly together with gum or paste as above described the composite card
thus formed does away with the necessity of attaching separate supports to mounting
cards as heretofore and makes a more durable simple and cheaper mount.
In mounting Photographs or any other objects which have to be burnished by
rolling care must be taken that the triangular cut piece b does not shew through and
disfigure the photograph or other object. In order to avoid this I allow the photograph
or other object to thoroughly dry on my improved mount before I roll it I do not

page_text: confine myself to cardboard from which to manufacture my improved mount but may
make the same of any suitable material thin sheet metal for example.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :―
The improved card for mounting or displaying Photographs and other objects.
substantially as described and shewn in the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Dated this Fourth day of August 1888.
