p This invention relates to an album having a flexible back with leaves attached at their ends said leaves having slits adapted to engage cards and the like.

The intermediate portions of the Aleaves are left free and said leaves allow the cards to be mounted on theI face thereof.

This invention -is set forth in the following specification and claim and illustrated in the annexed drawing, in which: Y

Figure l represents a face view of the album. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal section thereof. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the album folded.

This album consists of a cover having a series of leaves provided with slits adapted to hold pictorialV postal cards. The leav are fastened to the back, a't the top and bottom so that the slitted portions of the leaves can be'readily raised from the back when it is requiredto insert a picture or card.

In this drawing the letter a designates the back of the album which is preferably made of flexible material like leather or buckram. This back a is provided with a series of leaves b having a number of slits cV adapted to engage the cards or their corners.

The back or covera can be folded as seen in Fig. 4 where each leaf is turned with its back on top of another leaf and the flap a of theback turned over the top to Specification of Letters Patent. l
