American Cabinet Cards Chronology: The 1890s--Specialized Cards
Figure 1.-- We note spoecialized cabinet cards for school portraits in the 1890s. They probably occurred first in the 1880s necause we hve fiund ine dated 1890. At first we only see occassional school portraits, mostly class or small groupsuually not identified. Gradually the school portait became an established school tradition. We see studios by the 1880s specializing in school portraits. This generally meant a large school portrait amd individual class portits. We do not see separate individual portaits until the 20th century. Here we have a potrait of a San Francisco studio specializing in school portraits. The namne of the school is not provided, only a title -- Happy School Days. We haven't seen very many of these specialized school cards, but they clearly existed. A studio we noted was Hugo Weitz and Alex. Dijeait in San Francisco.
