Cabinet Card

Let's play with Cabinet cards. You can either create your own Cabinet card, the subject is free, or you these images on your collage:




The Cabinet card was the style of photograph which was universally adopted for photographic portraiture in 1870. It consisted of a thin photograph that was generally mounted on cards measuring 4¼ by 6½ inches.
You can read more about Cabinet cards here.
