I'm thinking Germany, although if you flipped that picture around, it would bear some resemblance to the stamp in your avatar, Tina.

They're called cabinet cards. They were all the rage during the 1870's and 80's mostly. Portraits of the time were often in this style, because they were larger than a standard photograph and a good size to sit on a cabinet.

The cards feature the logo of the photographer on the front (or just the name) and information on the rear advertising his services.
