Picture a framed painting or photo of one person, zoomed in on the face — the whole point is to capture what this individual looks like. And because a head-and-shoulders shot is taller than it is wide, such pictures naturally stand upright, which is where the 'tall page' meaning comes from.

可以想成一幅裱框的人物畫,或一張對準臉的大頭照,重點就是把「這個人長什麼樣、是什麼樣的人」留下來。也因為畫一個人多半是頭到肩、上下比左右長,這種畫面天生就是直立的——後來的「直式版面」意思就是從這裡借來的。
