White was another lettering color commonly used. Thuis is not a color we commonly see in early cabinent cards. We have just begun our assessment here, but believe white letters were most common in the 1890s and 1900s. We note one German card of an unidentified Halberstadt family that had a cream-colored mount and white letters which was made in 1892. We also notice American cabinent cards during this period.
