History
This collection appears to be a group of late 19th to early 20th century cabinet card photographs and paper ephemera. Cabinet cards were a style of photograph mounted on card stock that became popular after the 1860s and remained common until the early 1900s, often featuring portraits taken in professional studios. The collection includes what appear to be portrait photographs and possibly other paper items such as letters or documents. Vintage photography collections like this are highly valued by collectors of historical photography, genealogists, and social historians. These items provide visual documentation of fashion, photographic techniques, and social customs of their era. Cabinet card collections are particularly sought after for their artistic quality and historical significance, offering glimpses into everyday life and portraiture styles of the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
