Photo type:

The carte de visite (French), or English "visiting card', abbreviated CDV was a format of small photograph which were wildly popular from 1860-1870s.These small card-mounted inexpensive photographs allowed family and friends to collect and trade photos. The CDV was primarily displaced by the larger cabinet card in the 1880s. Both were most often albumen prints, the primary difference being the cabinet card was larger and usually included extensive logos and information on the reverse side of the card to advertise the photographer’s services.
