The calling cards are housed in an album that also includes Schangs collection of stamps and other related ephemera. Calling cards derived from a custom, originating in England, in which messages were inscribed on the backs of playing cards.

The Orphans ca. 1830 American In early-nineteenth-century America, bereaved families memorialized their deceased loved ones in highly personalized and intimate ways. Memorial embroideries and watercolors, which almost all date between about 1800 and 1840 and most frequently originated in New England, were very often done by young women, who learned this art form at school or in the seminary. The young artist of this image (perhaps depicted in self-portrait as the older child here) employed the most popular formula for such pictures, positioning the bereaved children beside an urn atop a large pedestal. The title inscribed below the pedestal reveals that these children mourn the death of their parents.. The Orphans. American. ca. 1830.
