This Cabinet Card is from the photographer Moung Kyau in Waterville Maine. Moung Kyau, from Burma, was likely Waterville\u2019s first Asian resident, probably arriving in Waterville in 1876 with Rev. Henry Malcolm Hopkinson (1867). This was likely taken between 1885-1888.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/54.245.116.99\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1263-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1263-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1263-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1263-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1263.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A style of photograph first introduced in 1863 by Windsor &amp; Bridge in London, the cabinet card is a photographic print mounted on card stock. The Cabinet card got its name from its suitability for display in parlors &#8212; especially in cabinets &#8212; and was a popular medium for family portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/54.245.116.99\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1266-790x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1266-790x1024.jpeg 790w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1266-231x300.jpeg 231w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1266-768x995.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1266.jpeg 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early years of photography, hand tinting was commonly used to add value to an image and bring it to life. Cheeks were given a rosy tint and skin shaded to look more natural. Hand coloring could be used to identify which aspects of the portrait the sitter (or photographer) considered worthy of highlighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/54.245.116.99\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1268-783x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1268-783x1024.jpeg 783w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1268-229x300.jpeg 229w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1268-768x1004.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ephemeralnewfoundland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_1268.jpeg 1101w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cabinet cards are photographs mounted on stiff pieces of cardboard.
