As in America, for some reason we begin to see major differences in cabinet card mount styles and colors around the turn-of-the 20th century. We do not understand why these changes occurred at the turn of the century and so rapidly replaced the classic-ctyle nounts. There were not only new styles, but a much wider variety of styles for the customer to chose from. We notice new sizes, new syles, new studio identifications, and new matting. Many of the new mount styles and colors we see are similar to the new styles we see in America. This is a little difficult to track with any precision becaue we have so few dated Canadian cabinet cards, although other devices can be used to approximate the dates. There is some indication that the new style mounts appeared in Canada a few years before the United States, but at most there is only a few years difference. The undated cabinet card here is one of the new style mounts, meaning mostly AFTER the turn of the century, but the women's puff-sleeve dresses are atyle popular in the 1890s just BEFORE the turn of the century (figure 1). .
