Horner Cabinets

[e107collector]

Does anyone know if there’s a Christy Mathewson Horner cabinet known to exist in his suit? Or is this image in his uniform the only one known? If it does exist, can someone post a pic?



Also, is this the only Plank known to exist, being cut from another piece? Does anyone happen to have the full image on the mount?



Thanks,
Tony

Hornerportraits.org has the most complete list we are likely to find. The only Matty is the shot of him in uniform.

Horner was an incredible artist, I'm grateful these images survive. Fantastic post, thanks for sharing.

I'm always on the lookout for poorly labeled Horner cabinets and photos. I've got one of each myself.

A Harry Barton 1905 portrait with mount and a cut out like your Plank of Monte Beville for my original 1903 Highlander collection:

Just to be clear - these are not my cabinets.

I'm only inquiring if anyone else has the images I referenced in my original post.

I seem to think that this is the only Plank known to exist, but we shall see.

For clarity, the smaller oval Horner images, are not Horner "Cabinets", they are cut-outs from a larger team composite and should not be compared to a regular cabinet in terms of value or desirability.

A cabinet for the thread.... Art Wilson presumably taken the same day as the Matty, as the Giants team probably had a sitting with Horner. Which if is the case, then the proposed date for the Horner Mathewson(1904) might be incorrect as Wilson did not play for the Giants until 1908. Furthered by the fact that he did not move to the Washington Street address until 1905(however the images could have been produced from the original negative and mounted at a later date, I have seen many different mounts used for the same images) as these were offered for sale to the public at his various photography locations over the years. Also of note none of the Sporting Life Giants composites from 1904-1907 use the Mathewson image above.
