Hello,
I am preparing exhibit labels for a small exhibit in our small
historical society museum. Among the items to be labeled is a cabinet
card. I have spent more time than I ever want anyone to know trying to
find out where term "cabinet card" or "cabinet portrait" came from and
what it means, so that I can add it to the label -- or at least answer
intelligently when someone asks. Can anyone on this list tell me the
derivation or meaning?
Thank you
Lynne
