English CDVs: Chronology--The 1880s

English CDVs
Figure 1.--This is a cDV portrait of 4-year old Harold Frodoham. It was taken in August 1883. It is a good example of a CDV with a mount more like those used for cabinet cards.

We continue to see many CDVs as part of the English photographic record in the 1880s. The CDV was still a popular English photographic format in the 1880s. We begin to see more cabinet cards in the 80s, but our geneal impression is that the CDV was still the primary photographic portrait format or at least very important. We do not know why CDVs continued to be so popular in England and many other European countries. You would have thought that the larger image size of the cabinet card would have had more appeal like it did in America where the cabinet card became the major studio format in the 1870s. The studio information on 1870s CDVs was very basic. We begin to see the front of some CDVs becoming more elaborate as well as the backs. Some began looking more like cabinet cards in the 1880s
