April Fool, Ha Ha!

April Fool, Ha Ha!
"April Fool. Ha ha."

A nineteenth-century calling card printed on marbled paper that has faded over time.

Instead of a typical calling card with a name printed on it, some Victorian-era prankster handed out this card as an April Fools' Day joke.

For another Victorian calling card printed on marbled paper, see Marian Reynolds.
