In the 1800’s, the upper class used to visit their family members, friends and neighbors. At this time, everyone carried a stack of calling cards, or visiting cards, with them. Upon visiting, they left one with a servant in hopes for a visit. If the person was home, it would be taken to them and then a decision would be made if a visit would occur. If the person that was called upon wasn’t home, the card would be left with the servant. If a visit was desired then the recipient would send one of their calling cards back.
