Copied from an Ebay listing:

U.S. Army School of Aerial Photography Dance Cards - Christmas 1918 & March 1921

The two dance cards are from the WWI Era.  The smaller one is for the U.S. Army School of Aerial Photography Dance, March 5th, 1921.  The paper inside is blank, but it does have the original string and mini pencil still attached.  This card measures approx. 3 7/8" x 4 1/2".

The other dance card is for the Hampton Hospitality House, Xmas 1918 and has been partially filled out.  It too has the original string and small pencil still attached.  This card measures approx. 3 1/4" x 6 1/2".

Welcome!

I am posting a dance card a day to the Facebook group, American and European Historical Dance, for the month of April 2020. These are dance cards that I've found on the internet. I have a collection of cards, but scanning them is a bigger job than I am ready for.

It occurs to me that I should have a place where others can see the original source for each card. This is the place!
