( Not my Model )
About this version
The model works well for portraits, couples, formal groups, historical clothing, studio scenes, and unusual subjects presented through an authentic cabinet-card photographic format. It can range from relatively clean period photography to heavily aged archival prints depending on your prompt.
Trigger:
cab1netcard
For strongest adherence, I recommend including the trigger along with a few physical/process terms such as:
cab1netcard, card mount, decorative border, photographer imprint, sepia
For a more distressed historical print:
cab1netcard, card mount, sepia, aged albumen print, foxing, faded blacks, surface scratches, edge wear, chemical discoloration
You can substitute
monochrome
for
sepia
when you want a more neutral black-and-white photographic result.
The trigger alone can carry much of the style, but
card mount
+
decorative border
+
photographer imprint
are especially useful when you want the complete physical cabinet-card presentation rather than simply a period portrait.
NOTE: ADD WHATEVER TEXT YOU WANT AFTER "PHOTOGRAPHER IMPRINT" FOR YOUR OWN UNIQUE CALLING CARD!
*note - the shape of the cabinet card is maintained (rounded corners), and placed upon a black or white background for easy removal via Photoshop, Canva, etc.
Vintage Curio is a paired collection of photographic style LoRAs inspired by late 19th century cabinet cards, historical studio photography, natural-history archives, and scientific documentation. (Look for notes on each version on each model card!)
The collection contains two complementary styles. Cabinet Card focuses on the historically grounded side of the project; formal period photography, mounted prints, studio backdrops, decorative borders, photographer imprints, aged cardstock, and authentic photographic wear. (Cabinet Card was trained on authentic high resolution museum archival photography).
Cabinet Curio
takes that same archival language somewhere stranger, introducing the visual world of forgotten specimens, peculiar scientific instruments, natural-history collections, impossible discoveries, botanical studies, and more. Cabinet Curio was trained on a multitude of high resolution Midjourney images from my custom style reference.
Both LoRAs can be used independently, or combined to create distressed cabinet cards documenting increasingly unusual subjects. Pair them together with this recommended setting:
Recommended dual-LoRA blend
cab1netcard — 0.75
cabine3tcurio — 0.75
Expect sepia and monochrome photography, albumen-like tonal qualities, foxing, chemical discoloration, scratches, fading, damaged emulsion, aged paper, scientific ephemera and more.
