Photo Number 390

Today I have some foreign CdV’s or Cartes  d’ visite or visiting cards that belong to Pam.

I think this one is from Sweden..Venersborg?  The “thick” tie was popular from 1890 to 1895 in America, but I am not sure if that was the case overseas or not.  CdV’s from this time are typically head and shoulders and the back can be very elaborate with colored backs and gold print was common.

I think this one is from Denmark.  I will guess that this one is from around 1890.  The lace on the ladies gown is stunning.

Perhaps one of our readers can tell us more about these foreign CdV’s.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
