.- single card having a picture thereon 'or a single card having a plurality ofsuitably arranged pictures thereon, the frame accord# ing to the present invention preferably being formed of suitably ornate Wood, lthe frame further consistingl of a plurality of intersecting strips co-acting t0 provide as it were, individual frames Vfor each picture carried on the card. Y A still further object of the invention is to provide an ornate frame of the character above-mentioned, Which is simple in construction, economical, can be readily assembled, and Which is admirably adapted for the purpose for Which it is designed. v
Other objects and advantages of the in vention Will become apparent during a study of the Jfollowing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 'l is a plan vievs7 of my improved frame. t
Figure 2 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view taken therethrough, substantially on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail vievs7 of one corner of the frame.
y Figure 4L is a fragmentary detail sectional vienT for more clearly illustrating the manner of securing the top and bottom and end Vmembers to one another as Well as the cross members to one another and to the top and bottom and end members of the'frame, the section being taken substantlally on line Ll-ll of Figure l.
Vith reference more particularly to the drawings, it Will be seen that my improved frame comprises top and bottom rails 5 and G respectively, and end rails 7 and 8 respectively, connecting the top and bottom rails 5 and 6 at their ends.
. parallel crossrails Sieixtenditrans i verselyof the framebetween the-top ,and

A longitudinal frame Vmembe'rff) extends transverselyv` of the` cross members 8f Vand atgits opposite ends kis secured tc the end Arails 5 and 7 and 8 res-pecf l tively of the frame.4 l c f `Asclearly suggested in .FigureV -1, and shown moreito advantage in Figureflyat" their intersecting points, the frame rails` and 8, Sand 6, the-cross members 8', and the longitudinal'member 9,- are rabbeted as Aat 4l()y to the depth," preferably of one-halfwtheir' thickness, so thatvvhen the entire` structurev is.A assembled', the surfaces )of vthe members 1 constituting the structure are flush with each other, bothk at thegfront Aand backof the frame. `1 i As shown to advantage in Figure y2the top raili5, bottom,rail6,-and end rails 7 and Srespectively, are each rovidedvvith a longitudinally: extending ange l1, the ilanges ofthe. rails cooperating for confining Within theare'afof the frame circumscribedby the langes a pane of glass 12, Which glass-12 s disposed'against the rearaces of=--;the rails, 5,1.6and7 and 8, and the intersectinglframe members 8 and 9, as clearly suggestedin Figure2.;ife 1 f .wzl ein Secured atits marginal edges in-` any.
