Victorian Calling Cards from the 1800's

GO TO PENNY POST CARDS

All of the calling cards on this page are from the mid to late 1800's and are "hidden-name" cards.  This means that you can lift the decorative scrap and the person's printed name is hidden underneath.   These cards are getting more scarce every day.  Their beauty cannot be matched as the time consuming printing method, "chromolithography" is a lost art. 


Item CC12 - $6.00 - Another gorgeous hidden name calling card from the 1800's.
