Chronological information about the different styles of mounts is very useful information. Because most cabinet cards are undated, the ability to date the mounts helps to estimate the dates of the cards. his is very important in ourHBC assessment of fashion. The chronology of the mounts are a little difficult establish because we have found so few dated Engklish cabinet cards. Some of the classic 19th cebtury mounts can still be found after the turn-of-the 20th century into the early-1900s. The the new style mounts in contrast only appear in the mid-1890s We see some in the late-1890s. The break between the differebt style of cabinet cards seems a little earlier than in America but only by a few years. Mostly we see the new style mounts after the turn-of-the century in the 1900s and 10s and some into the 20s. The 1909 card here is a good example (figure 1). Unlike the classic mounts, there were many different styles of the new mounts with varying chronologies. We are not sure about the format of large format cabinet cards. .
