About Christmas Card Day
Christian
Ends: Dec 09, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Christmas cards have been around since Sir Henry Cole commissioned the creation of such on May 1, 1843. John Callcott Horsley in London illustrated this first set of cards. Sir Henry created the penny post office in Britain. Queen Victoria had just commissioned the first stamps, which made posting a letter something even the ordinary citizen could afford. Coupled with the railroad, goods, services, and messages were suddenly able to move around the kingdom at a fraction of the cost.
Prior to stamps, only the wealthy could afford to send letters via couriers. Sir Henry came up with the idea for Christmas cards as he was designing the systems for what would become Royal Mail and looking for ways to encourage the public to use the services.
Within the next six years, Christmas cards would reach the United States. In 1875, German immigrant Louis Prang began printing and mass-producing them. Cards, and especially Christmas Cards, became big business. Finally, on January 10, 1910, Joyce Hall and his brothers formed Hallmark cards, beginning with just two shoeboxes full of postcards. In 1915 they bought their first printing press and started producing cards in-house.
Hallmark would go on to define the industry and create many of the cards, holidays, and traditions we see today.
