Cartes de Visite by date
The style of cartes de visite changed gradually over the second half of the nineteenth century. Early examples were on thin white card with square corners and a simple name and address printed on the back. Later examples were on thicker card with rounded corners. Some had elaborate printing and illustrations, often on coloured card.

The studio address of the previous photo is 60 Princes Street. This was Howie's studio 1864-67.

However, the style looks more typical of mid-1870s to 1880s, so Howie appears to have been using 60 Prince St on his cdv's when his studio address was 60b Princes Street, 1868-89

1864-1867
