Charles Smith—Ornamental Pensmanship on a Calling Card

"Chas. H. Smith. Compliments." (I'm not sure that the middle initial is H, however.)
An impressive example of ornamental penmanship on a hand-drawn and -lettered "flourished" calling card that likely dates to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Note how the bird appears to be eyeing an insect of some sort.
Here are some other similarly ornate cards:

Although it's not as ornate, this flourished card also features a bird chasing after an insect:

This one's even simpler:

The design on the following calling card is printed, but it imitates the hand-drawn and -lettered cards:
