Christmas Cards Presents The History Of The Christmas Card
From the time I can remember, Christmas meant Christmas Music and Nativity Scene Ecards. The Christmas card, as we identify it, originated in England in the year 1843. An artist named John Calcott Horsley was commissioned by Sir Henry Cole, a wealthy and booming London capitalist, to produce a card that could be sent out to his friends and clients to wish them a merry Christmas.
Sir Henry Cole was especially well recognized at the occasion, for a number of reasons. He had a aiding hand in helping to revise the British postal system. He played a prominent part in the making of the Royal Albert Hall, and acted as the construction manager on this considerable project. He also arranged for the Great Exhibition of 1851, and he oversaw the inauguration of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
One of Sir Henry Cole’s peak aspirations in life was to revamp the world around him. He owned and operated a wonderful art shop on Bond Street, which specialized in ornamental objects for the home. His shop was hugely accepted with the British upper class, and he earned a tidy sum from his business.
The Christmas card he chargeed was fashioned in the form of a triptych, which is a three-paneled blueprint that allows for the two outer panels to be folded in towards the middle one. Each one of the two side panels illustrateed a moral deed. The first displayed an representation of people clothing the feeble, and the other side panel displayed an image of people feeding the hungry. The center piece had an impression of a well-to-do family making a toast and surrounded by an huge feast.
The words on the inside of the card read "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you." Of the one thousand cards produceed for Sir Henry Cole, simply twelve exist today in restricted collections. The printed card became highly fashionable in England throughout the years that followed. They also became exceptionally popular in Germany. It took quite a extensive period for the design to catch on in America, then popularized by a German expatriate named Louis Prang in 1875. Nowadays, more than 2 billion Christmas cards are exchanged each year. Merry Christmas, all!
