Cartes de visite, miniature portraits used as calling cards, were extremely popular during the American Civil War. These photographic calling cards, approximately 2½ x 4 inches in size, had been invented in France in the early 1850s, and their popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually to the United States, where the corollary development of the photograph album spurred a collecting craze in the 1860s that became known as Cartomania.¹ In addition to assembling albums of family photographs, the public sought to collect images of celebrities and views of favorite places and sites. John Hay (1838-1905), a personal secretary to President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) who later had a successful diplomatic and political career of his own, is thought to have assembled the cards in this album

There are no known restrictions on these photographs. However, approximately fifty of the portraits of soldiers (mostly enlisted men) are copies of photographs that the Library of Congress borrowed during the 1950s and early 1960s. (The catalog records for these images contain a note field that begins "Copy photo made by LC . . . ."). After copying, the original photographs were returned to their owners but the Library did not retain a record of the owner's names and addresses. The Library is not aware of any restrictions on these images, but is anxious to hear from individuals or institutions that own the original photographs or who know of their history.

   When the Lakeview House was first built in 1685, this area was essentially wilderness.  When the first settlers arrived the land was forests, with Indian trails a few yards wide, so walking was the only means of transportation, or perhaps a small cart or sleigh.   The Dutch owned the land, but wanted to encourage settlement, so Governer Van Twiller, of New Amsterdam (now called New York) invited New England settlers into dutch held lands.  In 1665 was a large migration from New Hampshire to the Rairitan River, from New Haven to Newark, and from Newburg, Mass. to the Raritan.  The English took over in 1675, and under the English Proprietors, it became important to connect travel between New York and Philadelphia.  A road was constructed from Amboy to Bordentown by Gawen Lawrie in 1694.
