We notice the appearance of more variation in the 1890s, epecially during the second half of the decade. This is a relatively short period, but it was precursor of the more sustanial changesc to come in the 1900s. And thgroughout the period we also see the old style front prinying on the cabinet cards. We note that sometimes a kind of enbmossing where the letters were punched down below the surface of the card. This innovation appeared in the 1890s. The 1897 Chicago portait on a previous page is an example. Here it is on the left side,placement on the right side was more common.And on the previous page we see anothet of the new approaches, putting the studio name and location in the center (figure 1). We also notice a new kind of printing with the studio and ciy combined. This was both embossed and printed. The csrd here is a good example (figure 1). We notice many changes in cabinet cards after the turn-of-the 20th century,but this new style of doing the studio name wa commonly used on the new styles of cabinet cards. Thee new styles were not as common as the old styles, but we do see some,
