Abstract: The easel is a flat, generally diamond-shaped member formed of non-scratching stiff, resilient material, such as plastic. The member has a line of weakness extending thereacross between its opposed oblique angle points. The member can therefore easily be bent along the line of weakness to adopt a two-sided pyramidal form having rearwardly inclined, load-supporting edges and bottom edges. Means are provided along the load-supporting edges for disengageably supporting and frictionally interlocking with a picture frame or flat sheet to be displayed in spaced, non-scratching arrangement above a flat support surface, such as a table top. In the case of a channel-type picture frame, the means may comprise opposed L-shaped slots extending inwardly from each load-supporting edge a short distance above the bottom edge. The L-shaped slots form a T-shaped member. The T-shaped member can frictionally interlock with the base channel of a picture frame, to suspend the frame in a rearwardly inclined display position.
