  • Rare Book Week Talk: ‘Cartes de Visite, Cabinet Cards and Albums’

    Royal Historical Society of Victoria 239 A'Beckett Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

    Cartes de Visite, Cabinet Cards and Albums
    Speaker: Debra Parry
    Cartes de visite were the earliest photographs to be widely produced and sold affordably, becoming very popular in the 1860s. Toward the end of that decade larger photographs, known as cabinet cards, also become common. Cartes de visite were collected and exchanged with family and friends, and often placed into albums specially manufactured to hold them. Intended to be sumptuous, these albums were generally bound in leather, and adorned with decorative features such as gold tooling, or brass clasps. Join Debra Parry as she looks at the early beginnings of popular photography, followed by a viewing of some of these beautiful albums used to hold cartes de visite and cabinet cards.
