19th Century Card-Mounted Photograph Sizes
Carte-de-Visite (CDV) and Cabinet Cards
A popular format for nineteenth-century photographs was the card-mounted image, often intended for storage in albums sold with slots corresponding to standard sizes. The first popular card-mounted format was the Carte-de-Visite or "CDV" format, which derived its size from period visiting cards (today's business card) -- approximately 4 x 2.5 inches (10x6.5 cm). A later popular format was the Cabinet Card, a photograph mounted on card about 6.5 x 4.25 inches (16x11 cm) in size. A variety of other sizes came to accompany the standard Cabinet Card, notably the slightly longer and wider Boudoir cabinet card, often used for landscape images.
