The 'historical' part is debatable, but definitely a great figure.

Here are 1949 Bowman Wild West cards of Buffalo Bill and Chief Joseph. I love the artwork!

2 more cabinet cards I recently picked up of Wilhelm I from the end of his life. There is little interest in German history before the World War's and cabinets were quite popular in Germany, so there is not much demand and quite a supply of a large number of different images. Considering his great historical significance, I think he is one of the best bargains in cabinet cards. The one on the left cost me a whopping $1.25.
I only know a bit of German but I believe the caption reads Our Emperor In the 90th year of life [Berlin photographer] Copyright 1886. The card itself is presumably from 1887, using the 1886 photograph, to be for his 90th year of life. The black card bears an 1888 tag in the photo, but there is a stamp on the bottom right corner that seems to bear a copyright for 1889 and a word above that is just too faintly pressed into the card to make out.

And a Napoleon, one of the great men of history, I got a few days ago for a few bucks. The cabinet is not actually unbranded; there is some upside down text with part of an address and the studio at the top. The picture was pasted on upside down, so it is covering most of the caption. It wasn't supposed to have a big white blank space.
