Description: A Victorian-era Cabinet Card featuring a composite portrait of nine children with decorative floral elements. The children are dressed in formal attire indicative of late 19th-century fashion. This is a Cabinet Card, which was a popular photo format in the 1880s. They were first used in the 1860s for landscape views, eventually adapted to portraits, and had greatly declined by the 1890s. Standard-size Cabinet Card, measuring about 4.25 x 6.5 inches. On the front, the photographer's imprint "Foster" is noted at the bottom, along with the slogan "The Best is the Cheapest." and the location "ENTERPRISE, KANS." On the back, the name "Edith" is handwritten, suggesting it may be the name of one of the children or the owner of the card. Will be shipped safely and securely!
