Sell Your Jefferson Davis CDV Signed

CDV or carte de visite is French for visiting card, and is a type of small albumen photograph mounted on a thicker board and roughly 2 inches by 3.5 inches in size. The carte de visite was first used by photographer Louis Dodero, but patented by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1854. Carte de visite photos helped contribute to the mass production of photos more affordably but didn’t really gain traction until Disdéri published carte de visite photos of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1859. By 1861 they had quickly spread though Europe and the states, a phenomenon often referred to as “cardomania”.
