To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, EDWARD L. VILSON, ofthe city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and useful article of manufacture, which I term the Picture-Envelope.7

The object of my invention is to produce an envelope so constructed that an inclosed picture may be seen by simply lifting the sealAli-ap Without removing the picture, and thereby protect the picture from finger-stains.

It consists in constructing an envelope with an opening through one of its sides, and a sealflap of sufficient dimensions to cover said opening; and I hereby declare that the same is fully described and accurately represented in the following specification, and accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 represents a picture-envelope with the seal-flap uplifted. Fig. 2 represents a blank cut out preparatory to folding, the red lilies indicating the lines of folding. Eig; 3 shows another modification ofthe pictureenvelope bet-ter adapted for some styles of pictures. n

Similar letters of reference in the several figures indicate similar parts.

In Fig. 2, D and E indicate the parts of the blank which when folded form the two sides of the enveldpe. The part A represents the seal-flap. B indicates the opening through which thepicture may be seen. In folding this blank the part E may be folded at the line H down upon the part D. The ilapsGCare then pasted or gummed and folded at the lines K K down upon the side E. The seal-Hap A is then folded at the line I down upon the opening B, which completes the manufacture.

no claim, but,

Having briefly described my invention and one process-of manufacture, what I do claim, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, isd

An envelope constructed with an opening through one of its sides, in combination with a fiap adapted to cover said opening, substair tially as set forth.
