.To (all whom, {I may (once/'11 lie it known that I, (Ilium-1s SeHwAhlZ, of .llrooklyn. in the eounty of Kings and State otk'ew .York. have invented eertain new and useful improvements in liclure tards of which the following is a speeilieation.

This invention lnlsrell-renee toan improved pieture-eard for advertising and other purposes; and it Consists ot' a picture-eard made of one continuous blank and folded into two or more set-thins, of whieh one section forms the baek part or stay, and the seeond seetion the front. whieh is perlorat d. so that its eutont portions are brought out in relief against: the stay or lnukground. The remaining seetions form the Connect ion between the perfo rated front and the stay.

In theaecompanying drawingsligurei represents a perspective View of my improved pieture-eard. Fig. 2 is a yertieal transverse seetion ol' the same: Fig. I a plan, showing the blank from which the card is made; and Figs. 4 and 5 are perspeetiye views of modified eonst ruct'ions.

Similar letters of ref'erenee indieate corresponding parts.

Hy improved picture-card is made of one eontinuousblankot'snitalilecard-pa ier,whieh blank is divided by folds or creases, so as to form two main parts, namely: a back, part or stay and a main or front part, B. lhe bout 1; is pertorated or eut out in suitable designs, whieh are brought out in relief when the front is set up against the baek part or stay, which latter forms the baekground ot' the picture. The front llisarrangedat' a suitable inclination to the back A, and conneeted thereto either by a bottom section, that extends in upwardly-inchned position from the lower edge ofthe front part, ll. to the baek part, A, asin l igs. 1 and 5, or by a top section, (I, as in Fig. 4 The eonnectingseetion U is locked by any suitable deriee to the back part, A, so that the proper stability of the entire picture-card is obtained when the same is set up. The front part is so perforated as to represent a picture, through the open parts of which the rear part, A, and the inclined connecting part (1 may be seen. The inner Surface of the back part, A, and of the inelined part is printed in suitable designs and colors. so as to eonipleinent thcpieture ot' the front park ll. 'lhe inelined part t may also be ]|i'n\'illt'(l with partly entont and bentup portions t", which serye as aecessories to 55 the front part ofthe pieture, .sothat the whole eard forms a picture with aperspeetiyebackground that ean be brought out in a large number of different elegant designs. lhe entire picture is made of one continuous blank as shown in Fig. 2'. from which theopen parts are ent out by suitable dies, and which may be embossed in the usual well-known manner. so that, for instance a raised borderis formed around the picture ol'the front part. whereby the appearanee ot' the card iseonsiderably increased.
