Explanation of Hidden Name Calling Cards
Explanation
When we speak of "scrap cards" or "scrap picture covering name," we mean that after the cards are printed, the scrap is placed over the name and fastened to the card at one end. In presenting a card to a friend, your name is hidden till they lift the scrap in the manner shown in this illustration, which exposes the name to view and shows the back. of the scrap; on taking the finger off, it again falls into place and hides the name.
This style of visiting card is all the rage this season [1886], and is very unique as well as beautiful.
--Excerpt from an 1886 sample sheet with illustrations of calling cards for sale by the Connecticut Steam Card Works, Hartford, Conn.
