Scope and Contents Introduced in the 1860s, cabinet cards replaced the carte-de-visite. The format was common until about 1900.

The photograph is usually smaller than the card, leaving approximately a half inch at the bottom, where the name of the photographer or studio was printed. - Society of American Archivists...
