- Thomas Rowe, Expansionist Circus Performer, circa 1895 - Professional photographers began producing cabinet cards in 1867. Consumers quickly preferred them over earlier cartes-de-visite, which were mounted on smaller cardboard stock. Through the early 1900s, Americans commonly exchanged and collected cabinet photographs of family, friends and celebrities. This example, made in Detroit, Michigan, around 1895, depicts Thomas Rowe, a sideshow performer in the Walter L. Main Circus.

- E-M-F, Flanders, Studebaker Photographs, ca. 1910-1914 -- Item 190 - Founded in 1852, Studebaker was the world's largest manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles by 1900.
