Cartes de Visite were described in the Encyclopaedia of Nineteenth Century Photography published in 2008 as "Small, ephemeral commodities which were widely available, easy to hold, easy to pass around, easy to look over by the dozen within the drawing room, cartes produced little distinction in themselves. They were literally 'touchy-feely' artefacts; not to be looked at with deferential awe or revered from a distance but catalogued and collected, gossiped and commented upon."
