CDV mounts were done in many different ways. These differnt styles follow chronological pattrns. can be dated, thus making them useful in dating the CDVs. Some of the first CDVs we have found have mounts with no printing. Sometimes the front or blank, but the studio information is stamped on the back. Very quickly we see printing being used. Some mounts with out printing can ve found later. This usually meansess-established studios. We see many early CDVs with ruling done in various ways. Ruling was very common in early CDVs. We notice that some English mounts during the 1870s-80s were still very basic with just the studio and city printed in block letters. It was always block letters. We do not see fancy script in this type of CDV front. The studio at the left and the city at the right. This was very common in England during the 1870s. This was a very common formt for CDVs. We see some CDVs with an unuslly large photographic prit. This mens thre is vry little siude margins and little room at the botton for studio informtion. We have found oine example from 1873-74. Later the CDVs began to look like small cabinet cards. We see this in the 1880s by which time cabinet cards were becoming increasingly popular. The 1888 CDV seen here is aood example of a CDV done as a minature cabinent card. Notice the fancy script used. This was very common with cabinet cards. We have only a small number of dated English CDVs. Thus we are only beginning to work outg theif the chronology is understood chronology of these basic characteristics.
