Allen & Ginter's Cabinet

I came across something that piqued my curiosity. I saw this faded, unfocused image on an otherwise sharp card and thought "reprint". I figured the original was cropped. But as I looked at a closer comparison, it appears the photo was taken at a slightly different angle (to the viewers left) It cuts out the trees in the left, but shows a different gap in the trees on the right as well as a little more of the trees behind.

Was this common to use several photos of varying quality on something like this? If so, how many and were they specific to the border colors? I don't understand what reason they would use an inferior image.

I may be checking it out in person later tonight as there are some intriguing items that may be worth the drive.

Thanks for any input!
