A type of
photograph frame advertised in the
Victorian Trading Company's
catalog. It is much
taller than it is
wide (8 by 2.5
inches), and is apparently designed to fit a photograph where one of the two
people formerly present has been cut out of the picture. The catalog says, "a photograph was an
expensive luxury not to be
discarded when one of the subjects was '
removed' -- whether scissored off or folded back, this slender frame accommodated the
lonely heart perfectly!"
