All measurements for these images and thermoplastic cases are in the standard plate sizes including full or whole plate, half plate, quarter plate, sixth plate, ninth plate, eighth plate or sixteenth plate. Some tintypes also are referred to as CDV-sized. Cabinet cards and CDVs are considered to be standard size unless otherwise noted. Most paper photographs are measured regarding the photograph only, not including the mat or mount, unless otherwise specified and is given in inches.
