Three photographs attached to a wooden board

Description
An image of three carte de visites that seem to be mounted on a wooden 2 x 4. The photograph on the left shows John L. Sullivan, wearing a suit and bowtie, turned about halfway to the left. At the bottom of the card "Yours Truly, John L. Sullivan" is either handwritten or printed in imitation of handwriting. The photograph in the center is a bust-length portrait of a young woman. The photograph has been mounted at a 90 degrees angle to the other two images, and has printed photographer information reading "F. Medina, Merced, Cal." printed below the image. The photograph on the right is James J. Corbett, who is wearing a dark coat and high white collar, and is facing the camera, with his head turned slightly to the right. The printed photographer information at the bottom of the card reads "Fowzer ; Artist Photographer, 337 Hayes St., Branch, No. 7227 Market St., S.R."
