HISTORY:

Thecarte de visite[1](French:[kaʁt də vizit],visiting card), abbreviatedCdV, was a type of small photograph which was patented inParisby photographerAndré Adolphe Eugène Disdériin 1854, although first used byLouis Dodero.[2][3]Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were commonly traded among friends and visitors in the 1860s. Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlors. The immense popularity of these card photographs led to the publication and collection of photographs of prominent persons.
History and format[edit]
Thecarte de visitewas usually made of analbumen print, which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of acarte de visiteis 54.0mm (2.125in) × 89mm (3.5in) mounted on a card sized 64mm (2.5in) × 100mm (4in). In 1854, Disdéri had also patented a method of taking eight separate negatives on a single plate, which reduced production costs. Thecarte de visitewas slow to gain widespread use until 1859, when Disdéri published EmperorNapoleon III\'s photos in this format.[4]This made the format an overnight success. The new invention was so popular that its usage became known as \"cardomania\"[5]and spread quickly throughout Europe and then to America and the rest of the world.
By the early 1870s,cartes de visitewere supplanted by \"cabinet cards\", which were also usually albumen prints, but larger, mounted on cardboard backs measuring 110mm (4.5in) by 170mm (6.5in). Cabinet cards remained popular into the early 20th century, when Kodak introduced theBrownie cameraand homesnapshotphotography became a mass phenomenon.
