This is one of the most interesting Old Judges I have ever found. As most/some of you know, sheets of Old Judges were made by rephotographing cabinet size photographs produced from glass plate negatives. If you look closely at the bottom of this card you will see the words "OLD JUDGE CIGARETTES". Those words, in that format, are not found on any N172. The only place to find that line is on the mount of an Old Judge cabinet. Thus, when making this card (and possibly the sheet it came from, Old Judge cabinets were used to provide cabinet sized images, instead of just albumen photograph prints.
