Impressions Calling Cards

[Shannon Wolf]

I had this moment doing Heritage Days where I realised I had no pen and paper and really wished I had a way to just give people my email at least and go about my day. Then I was reading an article on Calling Cards and etiquette and I had a lightning bolt. Make my own calling cards, or get them printed, with my email on the back. And I did the thing as well as getting a fancy silver card holder. I can't find the holder currently lol but attached are my cards.

Oh and on a side note, did you know if you become a patron that you can get a CivilWarTalk email?

Second side note, I was using my screen name as my persona name and then somehow my nickname and my actual last name got smashed together and I have just leaned into it.

Figured everyone could use a giggle at the Calling Cards I found at the Victoria & Albert Museum collections. There's one "typical" example from 1760ish in the bottom right.
