Great card!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Wow, what a great shot! And so early. But can you tell me what a "cabinet card" is?
ReplyDeleteCabinet card is a term for a photograph mounted on a piece of stiff cardboard, usually with the name of the photographer printed on it. I really don't know the origin of the term, though.
ReplyDeleteThe term cabinet card was where it was displayed not it's size. Most early CDV Cards were put in photo albums but most celebrity CDV's were put on Cabinets in plane site.
