Since this is a cabinet, I'll ask for some help on this board...

Now, can some one please tell me, what is the difference between a mounted photo and a cabinet?

Thanks to everyone for all for your comments. Especially Mr. Mac for creating the bookend for my Gehrig piece!

My best, Jimmy

I'm confused guys. What is the difference between the two?

In the book "A Portrait of Baseball Photography" on page 334 in the Glossary, under "Cabinet Card" it states:

"A print photo affixed to a thick paper backing, or "mount," with dimensions typically ranging from 5" x 7" to 8" x 10", but possibly even exceeding 11" x 14" in order to fulfill the intent of being prominently displayed in a "cabinet" - hence the name."

Once again, is there any difference and if so, why would my Brown photo not be considered a cabinet?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, Jimmy
