I may still be missing something -- my point was, perhaps not properly
stated, that many photographs, prints, drawings, etchings, relics,
fragments, ephemera, etcetera, have frames around the outside of the work,
only the ones under discussion show a SCENE of a naked lady in a box as
the actual work of art withing the frame.
But I don't think you're serious about this... look up "sophistry."
