Calling cards, also called visiting cards, visiting tickets, or compliments cards, originated in their paper and ink form in France in the 18th century and their popularity quickly spread across Europe and the United Kingdom.

Leaving one's calling card at a friend's home was a way to express appreciation for a recent dinner party, offer condolences for an illness, or simply to say hello.

The invention of chromolithography made cards with color photos and embellishments possible. Romantic and nostalgic imagery was popular, often featuring doves, young women, kittens, hearts, or delicate hands in full pastel color.

Own a piece of history with these beautiful cards.
