Thus, when making this card (and possibly the sheet it came from, Old Judge cabinets were used to provide cabinet sized images, instead of just albumen photograph prints.

Extremely cool card Jay, thanks for sharing. Have you ever seen another one, same pose or otherwise? When the card maker compiled a matrix of 24 cabinet sized images I suspect the photos were rarely mounted on full size cabinet mount as they needed to be trimmed down so as to not affect the neighboring cards. But to see your Weber with the OLD JUDGE mount at least partially present, what a treat.
