Original carte de visite portrait photograph of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), the famous Austrian classical composer. The carte de visite was a small souvenir photograph that often came in the form of an albumen print which consists of a photo mounted on a paper card. CDVs were commonly traded among collectors like trading cards. Louis Dodero (1824-1902) is credited with inventing the CDV in 1851 although Andre Adolphe-Eugene Disderi (1819-1889) was the first to patent the CDV in 1854. CDVs were very popular through the 1860s but were soon overtaken by the larger cabinet card in the early 1870s.. Ephemera. Book Condition: Collectible-Very Good.
