What sets this card apart is its wording: an invitation to "the Ten O'Clock," dated February 20, 1885, which points to an evening event with a fixed start time. Printed invitations like this were a common part of American social life in the 1880s, when clubs and families of means marked balls, dances and dinners with small printed cards. Such pieces were often kept as keepsakes, which helps explain why some have survived, and they offer a glimpse of how formal the social calendar of the period could be.
