It was not actually a card then, of course, says a Tia-Bits article, but took the form of a glazed ware tablet, and was oflered when visits were being made, in much the same way as cards are in England today.

Glenroadin (Our Own Correspondent) Most of the farmers are through with the harvest and we expect soon to hear the hum of the threshing machine. ‘ But the honor of making the quaint- ,est known visiting cardâ€"if card it may be calledâ€"must surely belong to the Dutch painter, Frank Flores. He journey several miles once to see his friend, Aartgen, and finding, when he got there, that the friend was out, no is supposed to have drawn a figure of St. Luke on one of the walls. Return- ing later, Aartgen declared that no one but Flores could have been responsible for such a drawing, and accordingly he immediately set out to repay the visit. At another time cards were used depicting happenings in the lives of their owners, and yet another fashion was that of having drawings of some popular hero, military or otherwise. Cards used by women were even more elaborate than those of the menfolk. and besides the full name and title they often bore the name and title which the woman possessed before her mar- r age. today. Now we insist on simplicity, but then the cards were nothing if they were not elaborate and for several years famous artists and designers found a ready practice in making new, and often grotesque, designs for their wealthy patrons. One practice was that of having a pastoral scene painted on‘he card with the name hidden discreetly among bowers or trees and sometimes birds.
