That's awesome, Gary. Is it normal cdv size?

this is the good stuff gary -- thanks for sharing! i have a fair amount of cdvs and postcards from this era, primarily of literary figures, philosophers, artists and scientists. its quite a fascinating period of and for photography and collectibles. some really great + interesting studios around the world producing these early photographic artifacts.

It's a cabinet photograph, about 4 1/4" x 6 1/2".

Gary that's an amazing cabinet. It's certainly in the right collection.
