This is a cabinet card of my great, great grandmother, Goldie Cathleen (Call) Poulton (1895-1990) and her brother, who is younger by one year, John Leslie Call (1896-1943). This photo was taken ca. 1900. Please add anything below...

I've never seen a 'sideways' cabinet card, other than this one!
Most cabinet cards were made the other way, but I have seen and own many sideway views. It was a common way to mount larger group images.
