【Item No. B008】 A set of 4 portrait photographs of babies taken in photography studios from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. One is from a photography studio in an English-speaking country, and the other three are believed to be from German studios. A "carte de visite" (CdV) is French for "visiting card" or "business card." Specifically, it refers to a small card with a portrait photograph attached to a mount, which became widespread in Europe, including France, in the 19th century. These were typically the size of a business card and were exchanged as introductions or souvenirs in social and business settings. These are real photos from the time, including the mounts. They are great as antique or vintage collectibles, for junk journals, scrapbooks, or to display in small frames as interior decor for shops. They can also be used as collage materials for art projects. This is a one-of-a-kind item. Returns are not accepted. If you would like to see a larger photo, please let me know in the comments. We plan to list many more cartes de visite in the future. *Please note that these paper products are over 100 years old and show signs of aging, such as stains, discoloration, fading, small scratches, and wear.
