Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
Does anyone know if the thin paper covers for Cartes de Visite and Cabinet Cards had a name, what were they called? Two of the attached are by Percy Lund & Co, Bradford, England.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony, Ron Cosens just did a nice article on these that we call "tissues" as Michael confirms for an article in the journal of the Photographic Collectors Club of Great Britain. He may be able to forward you the article. Cheers! Marcel
thanks Michael and Marcel for your help,
best wishes

Hi Tony
You may be interested in this advert placed by Percy Lund in his Photographers World Journal dated September 1889. The design matches one of your examples.

Hi Tony:
I've only heard of them being referred to as 'tissues'. I'll ask around and let you know what the feedback is.
John.
Oh, I see the answer has been found, thanks to Michael, Marcel and Steve.

Just to add a little to this posting. I have managed to come across a box of unused Art Tissues by Percy Lund and these are being referred to as Japanese Art Tissues, also a sample sheet where several art tissues are being shown on the same sheet.
