Anonymous - Porto

The most representative card mounts found with anonymous stereoviews of Oporto are illustrated below. Apart from the last example, all the others are early cards mounts (most probably not later than 1865).

	White flat card mount with early round-corner images (courtesy of Alexandre Ramires).
	Light brown flat card mount with early square-corner images (early 1860's, likely to be from 1861-1862 — construction of the New Customs House of Oporto).

	Brown flat card mount with early square-corner images (c. 1864-1865 — final period of the construction of the Crystal Palace of Oporto). (courtesy of Mário Marques)
	Blue flat card mount with early round-corner images. Seems to be part of the same series that also includes the yellow card of Braga shown under this category).
	Orange flat card mount with a late amateur image, possibly from the 1920's.
