Photographic Cabinet Cards: Grayonettes


Figure 1.--This 1892 cabinet card potrait from the Glines Stydio in Boston was a Grayonette, an affedct zchieved by ir brushing. It was not mentioned on the font, but was montioned on the back.

We see a few cabinet cards marketed at Grayonettes. This appears to be an air brushed print developoed by the Glines Studio in Boston. The gray apparently refers to grayscale, meamning shading range -- the monochromatic shades from black to white. The examples we have found were, howerver done in sepia. So far they date to 1892, about the same timeframe as Ivoryetts and Extra Funish prints. Unlike these these better known finishes, the Grayionettes we have found are not identified on the front, only on the back of the card.
