They were introduced in the 1860s and gradually superseded the smaller cartes de visite format. The front of the card is usually printed or embossed with the photographer’s details, and the back of the cabinet card is often plain. The popularity of the cabinet card waned around the turn of the century, particularly after the introduction of the photographic postcard, but they were still being produced right until the First World War. Size The cabinet card was basically a larger version of the carte de visite. Paper prints were pasted to cardboard mounts in varying sizes. Mount Cabinet card mounts are usually thicker than those of cartes de visite. Please review photos of the item as they are part of the description.
