Retrato de una Pareja afroamericana

La imagen muestra una pareja de afroamericanos en una tarjeta de gabinete. Introducidas por primera vez en la década de 1860, las fotografías de tarjetas de gabinete eran similares a cartes-de-visitas, sólo más grandes. Midiendo aproximadamente cuatro pulgadas (10.16 cm) por seis pulgadas (15.24 cm) y enlazadas sobre cartulina (similar al cartón), fotografías de tarjeta de gabinete consiguieron su nombre por su tamaño, eran apenas el tamaño correcto para ser mostradas en un gabinete. Llegaron a su punto de popularidad en la década de 1870 a través de la década de 1890. Muchas tarjetas de gabinete contaron con el nombre y la ubicación del fotógrafo impresos en la parte delantera de la tarjeta debajo de la imagen. Algunas tienen marcas lujosas detrás para la publicidad del fotógrafo (esta tendencia creció hacia el final del siglo cuando la publicidad se convirtió común).
