Note:

It is believed that these four diminutive works were part of what Barz refers to as “mini-prints” or “cards.” Barz notes that the documentation for these special collection is quite limited. She continues, “Many images were produced in small sizes and were used very successfully as mini-prints, some mounted or put inside of folders and used as cards.”
