We also note an increasing numbr of paper frames during the 1910s. These were becoming a major way of presenting studio photographs. We no longer note extremely small photographs with very large paper frames. As the decade progressed the photographs increasingly came to dominate the frame. The frame portraits are more difficult to date. We note grey as a popular color for the frames. There were also white/ivory frames. We often note that the frames were often larger in area than the actual potrait, although we do not see the really small area portaits that were common in the 1900s. We note a variety of folders. We also note folder-type paper frams with fold-over covers. Some had side flaps and others full size folders with left side book-like covers. Designs for the frame can also help date the portraits, but here our knowledge and archive is not yet large enough to properly assess this.

We note grey as a popular color for the frames. There were also white/ivory frames. Brown had been a popular color in the 1900s, we are less sure about the 1910s.
We note a variety of folders. We also note a variety of folder-type paper frames with fold-over covers. Some had side flaps and others full size folders with left side book-like covers. A good example of a side cover portrait is a 1919 portrait from the J. Kilinkski studio in Chicago (figure 1). It shows two unidentified brothers in their First Communion suits. The cover had an embossed design set off to the top left. We do not fully understand why these folders became so popular. They could not be put in albums as was popular with cards. And they were not suitable for wall hanging.
