Vintage Photos Have Fun Art on the Reverse
Many vintage photos have interesting, business-like and fun art on the reverse, especially cabinet cards from 1870- 1890's. A cabinet card is about 4.25 x 6.5 inches in size. A CDV (carte de visite - from 1855-1880's) is smaller, usually 2.5 x 4 inches in size.
