Man in a Vignette of Torn Newspaper - Cabinet Card
My sister, husband, and I paid a visit to a local antique mall where I bough six photographs and a painted cabinet card frame. I am posting the six photographs and will add the painted cabinet card holder when I have found the card I want to display in it..
I have seen several cabinet cards of subjects with their heads thrust through holes in a newspaper. It seemed to be a common style. This cabinet card by E. J. Chrisman of Waterville, Minnesota is a variation. The photographer has made a photograph of The Waterville Advance newspaper of July 31, 1889. The center has been torn out to make a vignette for the portrait of a young man. Did the paper have a particular significance for him?
