Abstract

A frame for mounting a print or picture on a vertical surface includes a transparent sheet of plastic. In one form, opposing side tabs extend from the sheet so as to lie generally parallel with a rear surface of the sheet to form slots configured to receive and retain the print. An end tab may be directed inwardly so as to form another slot for vertical and horizontal hanging. In another form, blocks are attached to the rear surface of the sheet of plastic at upper and lower edges thereof, and a second sheet of plastic is attached to the blocks so as to form a slot between the first and second sheets for retaining the print. In another form, the sheet has tabs extending rearwardly with blocks attached to each of the tabs so as to form a slot between the sheet and the blocks for retaining the print.
