If any of these people are related to you, I am happy to take a close-up photo of the calling card for your own records. And, if you have information on any of these people, do please share your knowledge! I'd be thrilled to find out more about the people in my ancestors' lives.
Next post: 29 calling cards, laid out rather interestingly on the second page of the Souvenir Album.
Wow what a great piece of ephemera.
ReplyDeleteWonder what our descendants will make of our business cards, eh?
DeleteWhat a collection.
ReplyDeleteI've got a whole heap of business cards amongst my treasures - now I can't throw them out - they will be genealogy resources of the future.
You're right, Jill! Pencil a note on the back... who/what/where/why etc. I can see them now on someone's blog [or whatever will be in use then] about past ancestor's huge box of cards!
