The Whimsical Carte de Visite World of the Carte Horse Conspiracy and Archived Associates... 
  

Late in 2002, Larry Gottheim of BE-HOLD sent a letter and a page from an auction catalog illustrating an album of photo-collaged cartes-de-visite and cabinet cards done by Bohumil Stepán to a bored horse cart driver.
 
Almost immediately the Horse Carte Conspiracy formed; the members put things to order and got down to the business of conspiring. Between 2002 and 2008 they mercilessly contrived carte-works.
 
In 2008 there was a big collision of cartes, horses and drivers and all ended up in a ditch. Their glue sticks, tweezers and tiny scissors were scattered across the countryside
