2 CDV'S CARTE-DE-VISITE
The carte de visite or CDV (also carte-de-visite) was a type
of small photograph which was patented in Paris, France by
photographer André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854. It was
usually made of an albumen print, which was a thin paper
photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a
carte de visite is 2⅛ × 3½ inches mounted on a card sized
2½ × 4 inches. It was made popular in 1859 in Europe, and
from 1860 in the United States. The new invention was so
popular it was known as "cardomania".
Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such
photograph cards became enormously popular and were
traded among friends and visitors. The immense popularity
of these card photographs led to the publication and collection
of photographs of prominent persons. "Cardomania" spread
throughout Europe and then quickly to America. Albums for
the collection and display of cards became a common fixture
in Victorian parlors.
