    “Cabinet Card” portraits were often presented and exchanged by individuals of position, and social standing. They often replaced the “calling card” as a currency of social exchange and introduction and they came to frequently be displayed in glass “cabinets” to demonstrate acquaintance or connection in some way with the notables pictured in the portraits.
