- Description based on a set of four cards at the Yale Center for British Art. It's unclear if additional cards were issued in this set.
A series of etched pictorial cards, by an unidentified publisher, parodying the craze for carte de visite photographs, presumably in the 1860s. All are signed with the monogram "C.B." The measurements echo those of cartes de visite photographs. Captions occupy a horizontal band along the bottom. The cards lack imprint and numbering.
