Nice article, lots of good information, a few errors.
The correct size for these cabinet cards would be 4 1/4" x 6 1/2".
Old Judge cabinets date to 1888 & 1889 (not 1887-88), this collection appearing to be nearly all, if not all, from 1889.
These photos were not taken in Brooklyn, many would be from Gray Studio in Boston, others scattered about (many different studios are responsible for the original pictures).
One omission to the article is the rarity and desirability of the Dogs Head mounts.
Great looking cabinets, wish there were a few Detroit examples as I'd join the mix.
