Man with Horse-Drawn Delivery Wagon, circa 1890

Professional photographers began producing cabinet cards in 1867, and people soon preferred these photographic prints on cardboard stock to the earlier, smaller cartes-de-visite. American commonly collected and exchanged cabinet photographs through the early 1900s. This example, made by C. W. Lowry around 1890, shows a man near a horse-drawn "Parcel Delivery" wagon.
