Carte de Visite (front and back)
The fashion on this carte de visite appears (to me) to be 1860s style, but the back of the carte is late 19th century. Ovinius Davis set up his business in Glasgow in 1866 but did not reach Edinburgh until 1881. Tissue paper was sometimes attached to the backs of cartes de visite at the top and folded over the front to protect the image. In this case remnants of the tissue paper can be seen on the back. |
