PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Pictorial or Advertising Postcard Album and Travellers' Guide.
I, HEINRICH LECHLEDER, of 61, Am Thiergarten, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Ger-
many, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an album consisting of a series of pictorial or adver-
tising postcards connected and folded together in a zigzag fashion, the object
of the collection of views being, on the one hand to serve as a pictorial guide to
the tourist illustrating and pointing out by the successive arrangement of the
views the most interesting spots to be visited on a given tour, thus enabling the
tourist to easily make a selection of the places to be visited, and, on the other
hand, to greatly facilitate the sending of pictorial postcards to friends from the
places visited, without the necessity of prolonged meditation in the choice of
views to be sent.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and consists of a
connected series of unused postcards and representing views or containing
advertisements. These postcards may either be printed on a continuous strip
or band and be folded to and fro at the attached side edges where the strip
or band may be perforated or suitably prepared for tearing off the postcards in
succession, or the cards may be separately printed and be attached by strips of
flexible material such as linen, paper, or the like, capable of being easily severed.
The arrangement of these pictorial cards is such that the views are all visible
at the same side of the strip and when folded to and fro they are superposed
concertina-wise, the spaces for the addresses being at the rear side.
In using this invention it is only necessary to sever the card corresponding
to the place from which the traveller desires to send a postcard, to write an
address thereon, and to stamp and post it.
This collection of pictorial cards or advertising messages may be supplemen-
tary to the usual guide- or to similar travelling-books, or it may be enclosed
in a cover c which may, or may not, bear a descriptive or explanatory index
to the pictures or advertisements, or the album may be sold as a separate article.
Dated this 31st day of May 1899.

This invention relates to an album consisting of a series of pictorial or adver-

places visited without the necessity of prolonged meditation in the choice of
views to be sent.
The invention is illustrated in the drawings accompanying my Provisional
Specification and consists of a connected series of unused postcards a aa repre-
senting views or containing advertisements. These postcards may either be
printed on a continuous strip or band and be folded to and fro at the attached
side edges b where the strip or band may be perforated or suitably prepared for
tearing off the postcards in succession, or the cards may be separately printed
and be attached by strips of flexible material such as linen, paper, or the like,
capable of being easily severed. The arrangement of these pictorial cards is such
that the views are all visible at the same side of the strip and when folded to
and fro they are superposed concertina-wise, the spaces for the addresses being at
the rear side.
In using this invention it is only necessary to sever the card corresponding
to the place from which the traveller desires to send a postcard, to write an

tary to the usual guide- or to similar travelling-books, or it may be enclosed
in a cover which may, or may not, bear a descriptive or explanatory index
to the pictures or advertisements, or the album may be sold as a separate article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:—
A pictorial or advertising postcard album and travellers guide consisting of
a connected series of unused postcards bearing illustrative views or advertise-
ments and folded zigzag or concertina-wise and adapted to be readily severed for
use, as described whether combined or not with explanatory or descriptive text.
