Full overlay shop cabinet doors - slab/flat or shaker

Man, yall take your shaker door history pretty serious...  It might be perspective but that last photo looks like a kid sized kitchen.

You could be right. Looking at the width of the door I guesstimate that is at least a 2-6 door or 30 inches so the height of the kitchen sink can't be more than 30", maybe less.

Or extend the line of the front edge of the sink toward the doorway and you'll see it lands very low on the jamb. Far below the height of a normal doorknob which would be about 34 inches.

The ultra-wide rails and stiles can also skew the perspective.  It does look a little low, but not massively low.  And perhaps people were shorter back when that kitchen was built.

You also have to remember that these things were hand made, probably by the family in some form, and would have been done "to order". This is long before the "standards" that we expect today, so I suppose the height could vary a bit.
Hardware is a completely different thing. I have always disliked the "American" style exposed hinge look. For so many years the 3/8" lipped overlay with those ugly knuckles hanging out were the standard, but they have no adjustment or spring tension to pull them closed. They are free-swinging, requiring some type of latch, just to stay closed.
The concealed "Euro" hinges are much better, IMHO, in every way.
They are far too complex for that time, when things were simple, but I bet they would have loved to look.
