Horner Cabinets

Matty appears in full evening dress in his E107 RC, if that's any help.

I hate pimping out a photo I have on the BST in the T206 section, but here’s my only Horner.

Mine has a number on it, similar to other examples shared in this thread. Is this also some sort of cut-out of a composite or was this used in producing some other piece? Genuinely curious.

This image was used a few times, including his 1906 Fan Craze and his T206 portrait. Horner was a magnificent photographer!!

The oval images with numerals are all cut from larger composites. They are Horner "images" but not Horner "cabinets". The square image posted appears to have a handwritten numeral and "may" be an image peeled from its host cabinet, which was often done by publications that used the image for printing purposes and storage of the photo rather than leaving it on the bulky cabinet.

One more for the thread...

Scott, those cabinets are awesome.

What are the dimensions of the photos and the attached mount? 8x10?

[sb1]

Not that big, most of the cabinets are 5" x 7", the image itself 3 1/2 to 3 3/4" wide by 5" tall. But, I do have some cabinets that are slightly larger. My scans are high resolution and they come out pretty large when posted on Net54 making items appear larger than they are in hand.

I'd have a lot more of these photos, if it wasn't for Scott.

This is a "suit" photo of Murphy, but what is interesting is the back, where Horner is complaining about the lack of photography credit for the photo.

The back of that mount is FANTASTIC.
