The example at the right is not a cabinet card. This style mounting
was in use as early as 1895 and most popular after 1900.
This was probably finished during the period that Oaks was at the North-West side of the square in Oskaloosa, KS, between late May of 1901 to early November of 1901.
This example is not a cabinet card. This was probably finished after 1901.
