Questions
(1) Who started the first “official"
Christmas cards in a stationery form?
(2) Who produced the first commercial card in 1843?
This early card was a depiction of a Christmas scene
framed in three panels.
In the center panel was a homey table scene:
children, parents and grandparents seated
and some raising their glasses for a toast.
On either side were panels depicting acts of Christmas charity:
to the left, feeding the hungry; to the right, clothing the naked.
Underneath appears the now familiar phrase
"A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You."
