The invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. l is a front elevational view;
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a rear elevational View with the backing removed.
I is a beveled picture frame. 2 is a sheet of transparent material, such as glass located in the rear of picture frame I. 3 is an opaque mat, having a central opening 4. The mat 3 is preferably of a dark color, such as a deep green, in order to provide high relief of the picture, and is usually of a different color than the color or colors of the picture.
5 is a backing of suitable material, such as cardboard, and which has a central opening E. A beveled picture housing member 7 extends through the central opening 6 of backing 5, and is secured to the mat 3 by any desirable means, such as glueing.-
The housing member I is inwardly beveled and has a central opening 8. A picture 9 is carried in a recess I I of housing member l and is backed by a member I2 also carried in recess II. As shown in Fig. 3, the backing 5 is held in position by hooks I3 carried by frame I, and backing member I2 is held in position by hooks I4 carried by housing member I.
The picture 9 is visible through opening Ii of housing member I, opening G of mat 3 and transparent sheet 2.
If desired, the rearmost end of the frame may have a cover [5 around the housing member I. Such cover may be of paper, cardboard or the like.

Modifications may be made in carrying out the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and I am to be limited only by the appended claim.
I claim:
