Cabinet cards began to increase in popularity during the 1860s due to their relatively larger size compared to the carte de visite (CDV). As noted by their name, cabinet cards were commonly placed on cabinets for presentation although they could also be framed or placed in special photo albums. Cabinet cards achieved peak popularity during the 1880s and 1890s. With the advent of snapshot and personal photography, cabinet cards began to wane in popularity in the early twentieth century. However, cabinet cards maintained a steady following, especially in Europe, until the 1930s when cabinet cards were last produced at a commercial level.
