Cartes
de Visite |
|
Cartes de visite were small photos, invariably portraits, produced in large numbers by professional photographers from 1853 onwards until around 1900. Thee photos were about 3.5 ins x 2.25 ins, and were mounted on trade cards 4 x 2.5 ins. They were usually sold by the dozen. Here are a few examples from Edinburgh studios. I have many more in my collection. I can add more to this web site. Please let me know if you have an interest in any particular photographer or studio. |
