harryMany auction companies, not just Mastro, use specific words incorrectly. The word "lithograph" also comes to mind.
On the other hand, I do not think that the measurements for cabinets are as specific as you make them out to be. It is, at least, not cut and dry. For example, here is the definition from dicionary.com for cabinet photograph:
"Cabinet photograph, a photograph of a size smaller than an imperial, though larger than a carte de visite."
The overuse of the term "wire photo" is annoying.
