One of these things is not like the other…
Cabinet card (a larger version of the CDV aka carte de visite, fact fans!) by W. E. Merrill, Ovid, Mich – on eBay. BTW I don’t put eBay listings here on cos of some odd advertising thing, I get nothing. It’s because eBay amazingly doesn’t archive any of these so after a few months *poof* gone…and the CDV, tintype and cabinet photo section is an an online archive like never before, really. So I backup ones I like onto Tumblr.
