Vtg Cabinet Card Late 1800s California Ranch Hands Building Corral Fence Photo Very Good Antique Condition with some normal wear on edges of cardboard mount and discoloration (water damage?) in upper left hand corner of photo. This antique cabinet photo depicts a group of men clustered at intervals along a trench. They appear to be setting posts for a corral fence, perhaps anticipating the imminent arrival of a cattle drive. Behind them, what appears to be laundry on a clothesline and in the distance, a telegraph pole. To the far right behind them is a building. The image captures a piece of Americana and history from the 1800s, making it a valuable addition to any collection. The photograph is unframed and printed on cardboard paper with a lustre finish. The image color is sepia, and the size is 4 x 6 inches outer, 3 x 5 actual photo. The cabinet card format is a production technique used in early photography from 1860-1905. The photograph is an original and not a licensed reprint, providing a unique piece of history.
