What on earth is a Victorian Calling Card?  It's not from the phone company!  :)  Ah, the olden days when we spent more time sitting and chatting and connecting face to face!

A delightful custom which began in Europe around 1800, Calling Cards were a way of introduction upon moving to a new location, a way of exchanging contact information, and a way of communicating without words!  

As with the language of Fans, the language of Calling Cards developed to be quite elaborate; for example, a folded lower right corner on the calling card meant a call of condolence. The "proper" Victorian home had a small silver tray or dish in the entryway for receiving calling cards.  Having an elegant calling card case for carrying one's calling cards was also the norm. Victorian Calling Cards could be simple or elaborate featuring styles from lined drawings to vivid color and ornate embossing.  Placement of the printing also varied and could even be "hidden" beneath a flap.

Our gorgeous vintage images used with licensed permission from Victoria Rose Graphics, as well as custom graphics from our graphic artist, Elizabeth, come together to create a gorgeous assortment of calling cards from which you can choose.
