Originated in 1843
Have you ever wondered when
and where the custom of
Christmas Cards originated?
Many Londoners were
outraged when Sir Henry Cole, a
patron of the arts, sent the first
Christmas cards in 1843.
The cards depicted a family
toasting the recipient. The
puritan element of the city said
the cards would encourage
drunkeness.
I London artist John Calcott
Horsley was commissioned to
produce the first hand-colored
cards, Sir Henry ordered 1,000 of
them and sold those he did not use
for a shilling each.
The following year a few others
sent cards and the custom
seemed to be catching on mildly.
But cost kept the custom to the
upper classes and it wasn't until
the 1860's, when manufacturers
began printing cards on leftover
Valentine stock, that sending of
Christmas cards became wide-
spread.
The lace borders made it
impossible to distinguish a
Christmas card from a Valentine
card until the message was read.
Fringes and tassets became
popular during the period and
many of the cards had elegant
frames,
The quality of the early cards
was generally high, Many were,
made from 12-color plates' and
rpsembled oil paintings. Birds
and flowers were favorite sub-
jects and the cross, now
associated with Easter, appeared
on many cards.
High cost became a problem
again in the 1880's and the high-
quality cards faltered. As • one
means of cutting printing costs
"Xmas" was often substituted
for the word Christmas.
The first post cards as
Christmas greetings was in
Germany. Their lower cost made
them popular for a time but
people soon returned to the
original idea of cards enclosed in
envelopes.
Santa Claus appeared on cards
as early as 1860. He was slim,
serious and called St. Nicholas.
Over the years he became robust
and jolly although he has shed a
few pounds in recent years.
Bells, an early Christmas
symbol, head the list of favorite
greeting card subjects for 1860.
Second on the list are poinsettias.
