Description
26 vintage cabinet card photographs, 19th century.
Davids notes: there are 26 in all, all but two are landmark buildings and locations in Europe like the Eiffel Tower. Then there is the contortionist, and the family shot.
(From Science and Media Museum.org.Uk):Cabinet cards are photographs mounted on stiff pieces of cardboard. They were introduced in the 1860s and gradually superseded the smaller carte de visite format. The front of the card is usually printed or embossed with the photographers details, and the back of the cabinet card is often printed with elaborate designs. 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.
