Note: This would have been very much in evidence during the early 19th. century when it was common in polite society for callers to be announced by a butler or major domo by the presentation of a calling card. This was the forerunner of today’s business cards and was a small printed card which identifies the bearer, traditionally presented for introduction when making a social visit to a home or when attending a formal social event or business meeting.
