THUS: “Bob Evans mustache & specs cabinet card Leonard: Swampoodle MA 1889” would mean this is a photo of Bob Evans with mustache & spectacles cabinet photo card format taken by Leonard [photographic studio] in Swampoodle MA in 1889.
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.
NOTE: Every single piece of information we have on this item is contained in this description, including the name of the person, if known; if a name for the person is given, it is written on the front or back of the picture in ink or pencil, either originally at the time of the photo, or, in some cases, by us when we remove a photograph from an album in which identifications are written on the pages, not on the photos themselves. We also do not invent names for these people, so please do not ask “How do you know this is J*** S***?” We would not say whom it is unless we did know based on the information on the picture itself. And finally, we cannot, due to staff and time limitations, scan picture backs if they are not shown. What we judge to be important backs are scanned and shown in the auction description.
Introduced in the 1860s, cabinet cards superseded the carte de visite. The format was common until about 1900. Early cabinet cards typically used albumen prints, although a variety of other processes were used for later cards. The mount is usually about 4 ¼ x 6 ½”. 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. Often, the photographer will have the back printed simply with his name, address and location or in quite elaborate fashion with organic designs and rustic forms or an image of the building where the studio was located.
Each decade of the cabinet card, had its own characteristic studio accessories:
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.

SHIPPING
US buyers: Shipping and handling for this item is US$3.75.
Non-US buyers: Shipping and handling for this item is US$4.50 to Mexico & Canada, US$5.50 to most other countries.
Multiple-item purchases will be combined at a rate of US$1.15 per additional item.
Occasionally, an item will, because of weight & foreign destination,
require more postage than our default shipping settings. In cases like
this, we will notify you to request additional postage and offer to
cancel the transaction without prejudice and refund your original
payment. As this occurs so seldom, it is not possible to individually
price shipping for every item. Fully 99+% of our items are shipped for
the stated amounts.
INSURANCE ET CETERA: We do not offer insurance, delivery confirmation,
or other extra services on our shipments. Please do not ask for such
services or add
an amount to your payment for them. If you do so, we will accept the
extra money as
a non-refundable tip or a gift, thanks very much.
Similarly, staff limitations prevent us sending
buyers emails when items are shipped. We ship promptly and using USPS 1st
Class or better, so all shipped items are guaranteed to be returned to us if
not deliverable as addressed.
Attention buyers in ITALY: Unfortunately, due to an unacceptably high
number of packages lost by the Italian postal service, we can no longer offer
shipping to Italy. If you are interested in our merchandise, please make
arrangements to have a friend in an alternate country receive it. If you
provide a shipping address in Italy despite this warning, we disavow any and
all liability should it fail to arrive. We apologize for the inconvenience.
