Figure 1.--Here we see one of the new style cabinet cards we see after the turn-of-the 20th century. This card was a dark grey-green. This was a very popular mount color for the new style mounts. The portrait is the 7th grade class at Charles City High Schiool in 1902.

We see some darker shades. These shades were not as dark as the 19th century shades, but they were dark shades. The two dark shades we see most commonly was greyish green and brown. The greenish shades are barely recognzable as a green. We are not entirely sure how to describe it. They look to us like a grey- or olive-green. We see many examples of this colored mount. It is very distinctive, unlike the forest green mounts we see in the 19th century. Another popular color for the new style-mounts was brown. These were a more recogizable brown, but lighter than the very dark browns we see in the 19th century. The colors were unlike any that we see in the 19th century.
