The reason all of the photographic pieces are badly trimmed is so the original owner could then fit them into the slots of that CdV album. That is certainly how they were preserved for 140 years. Had the scorecards remained loose and never been trimmed, it is highly likely they would have been thrown out or lost many years ago. CdV albums were the most common way for families to save and display their photos.
