Carte Porcelaine was prized for trade cards, & calling cards, Champagne & wine labels, menus, announcements, and invitations. Collecting these porcelain cards was a popular 19th c. pastime. Stationers sold cards and the Albums created for them. Most cards on the market today were removed from albums a long time ago. Many cards were printed in blue ink, then varnished and dusted with metallic powders (silver, bronze, & gold). Multi-colored cards were printed from multiple stones.    These chromo-lithographed cards were produced largely from 1840-1860. Printed on card stock coated with white lead, they appeared to be enameled like porcelain. Most surviving trade cards produced by chromolithographers in the years leading up to the middle of the nineteenth century are Belgian,” writes Michael Twyman. “They belong to a broader category of lithographed product generally referred to in Belgium and France as ‘cartes porcelaine’ (enameled cards). Their common feature is that they were printed on card that had been coated with white lead (otherwise known as ceruse or carbonate of lead); the substance was similar to the lead paint used by artists and was often referred to in France as Clichy white. Card with this white lead coating was subject to pressure from steel cylinders at the final stage of manufacture, which gave it a sheen and also ensured a perfectly smooth printing surface. This provided lithographic printers with an opportunity to produce extremely intricate work, which they did by turning to the process of engraving on stone.” A History of Chromolithography, p. 422.Victorian Trade Cards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~All items are in used condition with flaws and imperfections of all types.All items sold as is, as shown in pictures.Please study the pictures closely for item condition.
