Greeting cards hav'e
colorful, historic sources
Each year researchers come up with more and more
fascinating information about the origins of Christmas
and New Year greetings.
Greeting cards are usually made of stiff paper or card-
board, but cloth, vellum, leather, celluloid, metal, wood,
clay, cork, and new materials have been added to their
designs. Cards and their messages vary in size. In 1929
an inscribed grain of dice was presented as a Christmas
greeting to the. Prince of Wales, and in 1924, President
Calvin Coolidge received a Christmas card that measured
'21 x 33 inches! •
In ancient Egypt the New Year was celebrated' by the
exchange of sYmbolic presents such as scent bottles and
scarabs inscribed "an ab nab" ("ail good luck") . The Ro-
mans exchanged strenae, originally branches of laurel„.or
olive, often coated- with gold leaf. Symbols of seasonal
good will, such as a Roman lamp and the figure of Victory
surrounded by strenae, were combined on 'objects of baked
clay, with the inscription "Anno Novo faustum felix tibi
sit" ("May the New Year be happy and lucky for you") .
The acknowledgment of the New Year with the exchanges
of good will continued in Europe through the early days of
Christianity:
In the 15th century, master wood engravers produced
inscribed prints which had the same intent ag the modern
Christmas and New Year cards. One of these shows the
Christ Child-with halo, before a cross holding a scroll on
which appears "Ein gust selig ior" ("A good and happy
year"). During the 18th and early 19th centuries, copper
Plate engravers were producing prints and calendars for
the New Year and greetings by merchants and tradesmen
were common,
Recognized as the first Christmas card Is one designed
in England by J. C; Horsley, in 1843 for his friend Sir
Henry Cole. An edition of 1,000 copies was placed ion gale
at Felix Summerly's Treasure House in London in 1846.
They were printed by lithographyan stiff cardboard, in
dark sepia and hand colated. The-design sham a' family'
party in progress, beneath which is the greeting, "A Merry
Christmas . and a Happy New Year to You."
A similar card was designed by W. M. Egley of London
and produced as an etching in 1848. While this card is
more elaborate, its design suggests a relationship to-the
Cole-Horsley card, The Same may be said of .an American
,Christmas card ..of the same period, designed by R. H.
Pease of Albany, N.Y., which bore the inscriptiona"Pease's
Great Variety Store in The Temple of Fancy." Sentiment
cards were exchanged and collected in. the United States
from 1830 to the Civil War and many have survived . . .
among them an' "expanding heart" Christmas present or
greeting card in purse form, dating from about 1859.
Today you can say Merry Christmas in 'Macedonian,
Greek, Hungariapa any one of 32 languages plus 'Braille.
There are greeting bards available in our polyglot nation
in Polish, Spanish, Japanese, Armenian, Croatian, Chinese,
Macedonian, Portuguese, Greek, Swedish, Norwegian,
Hungarian, Lithuanian, to name juSt a few, Distributed
throughout the United' States, many are produced in this
country, others come from abroad.
