Listing protocol: Subject / Type of Photo / Photographer or Studio / City & State / Date, if known.19th Century Photographic Types after the tintype.Carte de visite: 2 1/2 x 4 1/4\" card with paper print mounted. So named because of their similarity in size to visiting or calling cards; in the era before telephones, people simply arrived at your door for a visit or \"call\", or arrived at a predetermined time arranged by letter. If you were not home, a card was left. Or, when visiting those who employed a butler or other domestic help, your card was presented to that employee of the household, carried by him to the master or mistress of the house, and you were granted an audience or sent away with perhaps a \"Madame is indisposed\".
Cabinet card: a larger, variously-sized paper print mounted on a 4 1/4 x 6 1/2\" card.History lesson:Realizing that a market existed for a process which could produce a large number of prints very cheaply, the Parisian photographer, Andre Adolphe Disderi, devised a way of reducing costs by taking several portraits on one photographic plate. This required the use of a special camera and many different types were developed. Some had several lenses, which could be uncovered either individually, or all at the same time to give (usually) 4 or 8 photographs on the same plate. Others had a mechanism for moving the photographic plate so that each image was recorded on a different area.Because several exposures were made on each plate a number of positive prints could be made at the same time. The negative could be reprinted many times to produce the number of copies required by the sitter. The resulting photographs were mounted onto card.Introduced in the 1860s, cabinet cards superseded the carte-de-visite. Their larger size and greater detail made them more attractive and suitable for display or in albums. The format was common until about 1900. Early cabinet cards typically used albumen prints, although a variety of other process were used for later cards. The photograph is usually smaller than the card, leaving approximately a half inch at the bottom, where the name of the photographer or studio was printed.
Each decade of the cabinet card had its own characteristic studio accessories, when used for full-figure images:
1860\'s - balustrade, column and curtain
1870\'s - rustic bridge and stile
1880\'s - hammock, swing and railway carriage
1890\'s - palm trees, cockatoos (usually stuffed specimens) and bicycles
1900\'s - the motor car Dimensions given, if any, are approximate. Scans large to show any defects. Unseen defects described. Item complete as issued unless otherwise stated. VG or better condition.
