Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Carte de Visite?
A carte de visite (or CDV) is a type of small photograph that was very popular during the 19th century.  Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were commonly traded among friends and visitors.  Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlors. The immense popularity of these card photographs led to the publication and collection of photographs of prominent persons.
Is this listing for a real Carte de Visite?
NO
.  Please be aware that this listing is for a REPLICA carte de visite; this is NOT an actual antique photograph.  Real CDVs of prominent persons/events are extremely rare.  We produce very realistic reproductions that can be used for a variety of purposes such as education, historical re-enacting, theatrical props, or simply to add a vintage touch to your home decor.
How are your photographs processed?
We pride ourselves on bringing you only the finest quality prints by consistently taking advantage of the ever-growing advances in photo technology.  One of the ways we achieve this is with giclee, a high resolution, high-fidelity process using a performance-specialized large format printer.  Giclee (pronounced zee-CLAY) utilizes inkjet technology, but far more advanced than a standard deskjet.  Among other advantages, giclee employs an ulta-wide color gamut using 11 (or more) specified inks. Originally developed as a proofing system for the traditional lithograph, the superior quality and brilliance of the giclee was soon realized.  Also, giclees are produced digitally, saving generations of the detail-robbing experienced with older methods such as negatives and plates.  This is why giclee, dye sublimation and similar processes have become the gold standard of photographic production in the 21st century, and are employed by the majority of today's reputible photograpic and printhouse developers.
How
do I know your image description is accurate?
We strive to make our photo descriptions as accurate as possible. Descriptions are taken directly from the U.S. Library of Congress, National Archives, or other sources as noted. In many cases, these institutions hold the original negatives and state the ascribed notes directly from the original photographer. Therefore, we use these institutions as our standard of authority on description accuracy. We are not responsible for errors and we will not participate in disputes. Should you have a dispute, please contact the sighted source directly.
This listing images provide buyers the opportunity to assess the accuracy of the photo description before finalizing a purchase.  As such, we don't accept returns on the basis of an allegedly inaccurate description.  We encourage you to feel confident in the stated description before ordering.
When can I expect my package?
Items are shipped via USPS First Class mail (2-5 business days) and normally arrive within a week of purchase.  Please consider weekends and holidays when anticipating your package arrival date as well.
Is your transit packaging secure?
Great care will be taken to ensure that your item arrives in excellent condition. Prints are shipped flat on cardboard and sealed in a water-resistant envelope.
