There is a guy on ebay who glues copies of 1800's Indian photos onto real 1800's cabinet mounts, but he does a much better job than the non-Kelly pic you show. The Kelly copy is absurdly stuck into a 1930's holder.

If you really are interested in such items, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the various photograph types (albumens, silver gels, etc.), photo paper, mounts and folders for the periods you are interested in.

I'll try to assemble something on my website as a guide - I've been meaning to do that anyway. David (Cycleback) might already have something like that on his site.
