Warren cabinets
The story on the signed cabinets is that they were kept by the family of the original photographer and were split up between his heirs at some point. It could be a myth and does not explain why they would appear in two different auctions almost simultaneously. I am glad the group is back together instead of spread to the four winds. Almost all the cards are dated when signed between July 22-24, 1872. There are 11 in the group.
