1850s Hand-made Gentleman’s Calling Card to Young Lady in Envelope

 

David Styce appears to have carefully hand-calligraphed his calling card and sent it in a small but elegant envelope to Miss Davis. What happened next? Alas, the answer is lost in the sands of time, unless somebody wants to do some deep internet sleuthing. I’m going to guess 1840s, ‘50s, or ‘60s based on the paper.

The card measures 3”x1.5”, the envelope is 4”x2.5”. Some light wear and soil.  $25
