| 1. |  | Unidentified photographer / artist n.d. A template carte de visite explaining how to cut them to size and how to place them into an album. Carte de visite Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada When carte de visite were new on the market directions were provided on how to place them in albums and this rare card is an example of that. Directions Be careful to cut the Photographs to the exact size and shape of THIS CARD, so as to correspond with the space cut out to receive them. Should they be too long, they will swell one end of the Album and prevent it from clasping. To facilitate their removal, insert a paper cutter or broad bladed knife beneath the Card, so as to raise the lower edge, grasp them both with the thumb and fore-finger and withdraw the Card and knife at the same time. |
| 2. |  | Unidentified photographer / artist n.d. A carte de visite back advertising a supplier of the card stock used to make CDVs. Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada Often the industry supporting 19th century photographers is overlooked and this is an important part of the history of photography. This rare CDV showing the prices was produced as an advertisement for Andrew H. Baldwin a supplier of the card stock used to produce CDVs. The message reads: This kind of card, light or dark buff not printed, $2.25 per 1000, or 2.75 if Round Corners. All the higher grades of cards printed in this style, $1.00 per 1000. Printed without the cut, 75 cents per 1000. ANDREW H. BALDWIN, No. 1 Chambers Street, Cor. Chatham & Duane, NEW YORK. |

| 6. |  | William Coffrin n.d. A carte de visite back Carte de visite Archives of Modern Conflict OR National Gallery of Canada The significance of this card from W.M. Coffrin (No. 2 Perry's Block, Treemont St., Claremont, N. H.) lies in the message in the lower part part. Here it says that negatives are preserved but beneath that: Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes and Photographs copied or worked with Ink, in any style desired. The importance is that Daguerreotypes and Ambrotypes were unique items and could only be copied by photographing the original object making a single copy. The prints used on CDVs had a negative and allowed multiple copies and this allowed people to replace their earlier photographic formats with a newer one - similar to replacing records and audio CDs with MP3 files. |
