<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 101403, member: 33"]Hi, it is not a cabinet card. I just call any later type of photo mounted on a card ( if it is not a cabinet card or a carte de visite) a card-mounted photograph or something similar. Around the turn of the 19th to 20th century and going into the first 20 years or so of the 20th, lots of different sizes of cards sprouted up. If you are going to sell it, I don't think a specific name for the size of the card will make much difference. There is this detailed page that talks about sizes, and lists a lot of names, many of which I've never heard of...
