Cartes de Visite Cartes de visite were a popular size of photograph in the second half of the 19th century. They were photographs 3.5 ins x 2.25 ins, mounted on trade cards 4 ins x 2.5 ins. Almost all were studio portraits, but a few photographers including George Washington Wilson of Aberdeen and Archibald Burns of Edinburgh produced many carte de visite views.
