Sample lady's visiting card from 1910, specifying an At Home day
The "At Home" day was a social custom in Victorian Britain, where women of gentle status would receive visitors on a specific day of the week.
The woman would print calling cards indicating she would be "At Home" e.g. on "Fridays in April".[1] Those of her acquaintances who had received the card could then call on her that day.[2][3] It was considered impolite to visit unannounced on any other day, or to visit without having received a card.[4] Guests should visit between three or four and six in the afternoon, and stay for a period from a quarter of an hour to an hour, depending on the level of intimacy with the hostess.[1]
