Abstract
A photograph display device is formed from a generally rectangular strip of cardboard, folded and scored to define a plurality of panels and hinge lines. In a collapsed state the panels provide an envelope for mailing a photograph, and in an erect state, an easel with a rectangular display frame. The easel is supported by a cylindrical base whose ends are scored to permit bevelling relative to the back of the display frame. With the ends bevelled, the device can be oriented in either a first position with the base rested lengthwise on a horizontal surface or a second position substantially 90 degrees rotated relative to the first with either of the bevelled ends of the base rested on a horizontal surface. The device can thus orient a rectangular photograph for proper viewing regardless whether the lengthwise axis of the photograph should be horizontally or vertically oriented.
