One of the awards was received for their work in 1867. That certainly predates any known cabinet photos and would most likely be for something rather artsy. I like the backs of those mounts as much as the photos. There's a well known cabinet of the St. Louis Browns called "Worldbeaters" with the two greyhounds that also came from a studio that was awarded some prize for excellence. Almost sounds like St. Louis was some mecca of photography.
