We don't have much information on the backs of cabinent cards yet. We think that most in the 1870s and 80s had printed backs with informtion bout the studio. Some even had printed dates, but this was not very common. We note cards with blank backs in the 1890s. Some had a smooth grey finish. We are not yet able to assess the chronology based oin the backs, but we have begun to collect some information.
