This Cabinet Card is showing all the wear and tear created by me when I separated it from a photo pasted on top of it.
(See below.)
I think a corner had come up and I had seen enough to want to see what was clearly another photo beneath the top one. I pulled it off very slowly by steaming the back of the card and the white spots are the imperfect result. The first photo ended up getting destroyed though (although it was already scanned and saved) - but I wasn't that attached to it as the girl's face was strangely overexposed as well as the baby's dress. I much preferred the (imperfect) one I ended up with in real life.
Found photo in South Burlington, Vt.

My description of the girl's face that I described as "strangely overexposed" is a little misleading and weirder. Her mouth almost looks like it was deliberately erased/altered - sort of horribly reminiscent of Neo in The Matrix when his mouth is erased. At first, not really examining it, I couldn't figure out why the photo was unsettling to me, but I think that that detail - plus her thin, unhealthy looking frailty made me a little bolder, and less stressed, about the possible destruction of the photo.
At least it was first immortalized virtually!
