Dennison's modern art of picture framing.
A 1916 manual from the Dennison Manufacturing Company of Boston, a firm known for paper goods, teaching home readers how to frame pictures with mats, mounts and simple moulding. Its photographs show finished framing work step by step: a snapshot of woodland rocks set in a dark border, a print of hounds on a mounted card, a blank mat with a tinted window, and the same hound print sealed in a narrow bevelled frame, giving designers period examples of how a picture is set off by its surround.
