More Info: Louis Gallet (14 February 1835 – 16 October 1898) was a French librettist and playwright. He also wrote novels and poetry. He is the son of Louis Gallet and Adele Jacquet. Louis married Anne Marie Sausse in 1856.
The son of a wine merchant, he made his professional debut in Valencia as a proofreader and in 1857, under the pseudonym of L. Marcelly, published Gioventù, a collection of verses. He moved to Paris where he began a career in the Assistance Publique (he was for a long time director of the Lariboisière hospital in Paris), while writing novels, dramas and poetry, but above all librettos for operas and other operatic works. He collaborated with great names in music, such as Camille Saint-Saëns, Georges Bizet, Jules Massenet and Charles Gounod. In 1868, he won the prize of the Ministry of Fine Arts for the libretto The Cup of the King of Thule, ahead of 168 competitors.

Card size: 4.25" x 6.5". #20-2, 019-05 The Cabinet Card was a style of photograph which was widely used for photographic portraiture after 1870. It consisted of a thin photograph mounted on a card typically measuring 108 by 165 mm (4+1⁄4 by 6+1⁄2 inches). The carte de visite was displaced by the larger cabinet card in the 1880s. In the early 1860s, both types of photographs were essentially the same in process and design. Both were most often albumen prints, the primary difference being the cabinet card was larger and usually included extensive logos and information on the reverse side of the card to advertise the photographer’s services. However, later into its popularity, other types of papers began to replace the albumen process. Despite the similarity, the cabinet card format was initially used for landscape views before it was adopted for portraiture. Some cabinet card images from the 1890s have the appearance of a black-and-white photograph in contrast to the distinctive sepia toning notable in the albumen print process. These photographs have a neutral image tone and were most likely produced on a matte collodion, gelatin or gelatin bromide paper. Sometimes images from this period can be identified by a greenish cast. Gelatin papers were introduced in the 1870s and started gaining acceptance in the 1880s and 1890s as the gelatin bromide papers became popular. Matte collodion was used in the same period. A true black-and-white image on a cabinet card is likely to have been produced in the 1890s or after 1900. The last cabinet cards were produced in the 1920s, even as late as 1924. Owing to the larger image size, the cabinet card steadily increased in popularity during the second half of the 1860s and into the 1870s, replacing the carte de visite as the most popular form of portraiture. The cabinet card was large enough to be easily viewed from across the room when typically displayed on a cabinet, which is probably why they became known as such in the vernacular. However, when the renowned Civil War photographer Mathew Brady first started offering them to his clientele towards the end of 1865, he used the trademark "Imperial Carte-de-Visite." Whatever the name, the popular print format joined the photograph album as a fixture in the late 19th-century Victorian parlor. (ref. Wikipedia)
