* (Moderator note:  Though the informant does not say to fold this arrangement, we are told to put salt and pepper between the parchment and the photo; without folding or wrapping it somehow, the salt and pepper would fall out when the papers were hung.  Also, the informant says "let it be hanging wit de photo bottoms up, bottoms down", a confusing statement which led me to think that folding it might be what was meant.  I could be wrong, so judge for yourselves.)
