Figure 1.-- Here we see an American cabinet card with scroll edging. It is undated, but the huge baloon sleeves of the fasionbly dressed ladies suggest it was taken about 1895. |

We notice fancy edging on some cabinet cards. This included both narrow scroling and various patterns. We have orimarily seen this element in the 1890s classic cards. We have just begun to assess this. But all of the exanples we hve found so far come from the 1890s. It seems to be an element introduced just as the ne style mounts bgn to ppear at the urn-of-the 20th century. It was mostly utilized on the white and whitish shades like cream mounts. At least we have not found dark mounts with this edging. This would manke sence as it the scroll/patern edging would how up best on light-colored mounts.
