If the picture is a paper print mounted on a card measuring about 6 x 4 inches, then without seeing it, you probably have a cabinet card. From your description of card thickness and color, decoration I would say it is from the 1880s. Cabinet cards were produced (as portraits) from 1866 to 1900 or so.I have an web page on cabinet cards at
