Brief History and explanation of Cabinet Card Process:
"Cabinet photos were made very similarly to the carte-de-visite. They too, were a wet plate process. A layer of albumen (egg white) followed by a layer of collodion was painted on the plate before being dipped in a nitrate bath for photo sensitizing. Th exposures were made while the plate was still wet and afterward, immediately put into the development solution. The plate of the negative began to be varnished to help deter any scratches from damaging the images. The negatives were then printed on the pre sized stock papers (which were also dipped in albumen and sensitizing solution). Sometimes the prints were toned using a solution of gold chloride which gave them that brown/sepia look before the image was “fixed” or stabilized in hypo."
