The glass is oval at top, square at bottom and convexed. There is more information on the Chicago Portrait Company at this website. Hope this helps.

You can print on paper in two ways. They are Portrait and Landscape. Normally we print in Portrait orientation. That is when the page is longer top to bottom than across. It is the way most portrait paintings are, hence the name. Landscape is when the paper is orientated so that it is wider across than it is from top to bottom. That is the way most paintings of landscapes are, hence the name. We normally use portrait orientation for standard documents, like letters. Landscape can be used for things like printing signs.

How do you fold a piece of paper vertically top to bottom?
First identify which are the long sides. Paper can be held either in portrait or landscape position. In portrait, the longer sides are the sides, and the shorter sides are the top and bottom. In landscape, it is the opposite. Since your question didn't indicate portrait or landscape, I will give the directions for portrait. For landscape, just turn the paper so that the longer sides are top and bottom. For portrait, make sure that the longer sides are at the sides. Now fold the paper so that the longer sides touch, then press the paper to make a crease along the fold. For landscape, fold the paper so that the shorter sides touch, and press the paper to make a crease along the fold.
