The 1920s was the last year that we see any apreciable numbers of cabinet cards. And this includes the large format cards. We have not yet found a cabinet card dated later than the 1920s. The cabinet card format after many decaded was going out of style. And this affected the popularity of these large-sized cabinet cards. We see highly decorated cards, apparently an attemp tom improve their popularity, but we do not these large cards with highly decorated mounts. Thy continued to have plain mounts, often with wide borders. We see some studio informastion, but we do not have enough examples archivd yet to make any general assements. Most of the examples we have found cintinue to be hool portraits. Brownish shades tend to be the most common mount colors.
