Carte-de-Visite's, or CDV's, are a photograph mounted on a small card. It was introduced in the mid 1850's and became tremendously popular especially in America from 1860 until almost the turn of the century. It was a favorite of Civil War soldiers, who often gave them to sweethearts and family. The CDV is easily distinguished from other card mounted photos by its size, usually 2.5 x 4 inches (63 x 100 mm) or slightly less. The vast majority of CDV's are portraits, most of them are not identified with the subject's name. Our tasteful note cards may be handwritten for any occasion. Printed on premium stock, they depict noted persons, insignia and scenes of the civil war. |
