Figure 1.--We are not sure where this portrait was taken, but these style portraits largely replaced the old style of cabinent cards at the turn of the 20th century. This portrait was taken in 1904. |

There seems to be a very destinctive shift made at the turn of the 20th century, although this transition mzay have varied from country to country. After the turn of the 20th century, at least in America, cardboard CDV and cabinent mounts gave way to paper mounts of various designs. We are not entirely sure just when this occurred, but we note that by the very early 1900s there were large numbers of portraits in these paper mounts. Notice the American portrait here done in 1902. There may have been some prints done with these
in the 1890s, but we have not yet found them. If they so exist, the number would seem very small in compatioson to the number made after in the 1900s. We are not surewhat caused this rather sydden shift. Cabinent cards were basically unchanged since the mid-1860s wen they appeared through the 1890s. Then the format suddently changed at the turn-of-the-century.
