The Days Of Old Of Xmas Badges

The history of Christmas cards is shrouded in controversy. One account in short is in 1842, a 16-year-old boy by the name of William Maw Egley engraved the earliest card. This card showed a photo of Christmas dinner, skaters, dancers and the poor receiving gifts. Inside, the message said "A Merry Christmas as well as a Happy New Year to you." This card still exists today.

The first Christmas greeting is often credited to Sir Henry Cole, not William Egley, although Egley's card was clearly around in advance of Cole's. In 1843, Sir Henry Cole, the directory of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, commissioned Christmas cards have been illustrated by John Callcott Horsley, a popular artist at the time.

The illustration with this one-page stirred controversy for the reason that scene depicted parents plus a small child sipping glasses of wine, along with the hungry being fed along with the naked being clothed (although they have been shown fully dressed). The material, printed for the banner designs inside the center of the label, read "A Merry Christmas plus a Happy New Year for your requirements." One thousand cards were issued by Summerby's Home Treasury Office and were sold for one shilling each. Only 12 of your original 1000 printed remain today.

Not everyone liked the concept of holiday cards. Some Protestant groups could not approve the strategies so that the 1900s. During Cole's time, people complained the fact that cards were too secular and the they will surely lead to children developing poor morals, "alcoholism and intemperance."

Overall, the general public loved the objective of sending cards at Christmas. In the beginning, holiday cards were hand delivered which has a calling card. In the 1840s, Brits began mailing cards to one another and because of the early 1850s, the objective of sending holiday cards had spread to other countries on the European continent.

Unlike our modern holiday cards that feature religious or winter themes, early cards were wholly secular. These were more likely to show pictures of flowers, fairies and other springtime scenes. Eventually, pictures of children and animals were chosen. More a collage compared to a card, a minimum of by the modern way of thinking, these holiday cards were cut in elaborate shapes and fabricated from increasingly ornate materials. One early card, still in existence today, is constructed of 750 individual bits of material sewn together. Other cards had silk, pearls, frosted glass, tassels, dried flowers and other ornate decorations attached.

The tradition of giving Christmas cards to family and friends didn't cause it to be round the pond to America for 17 years. In 1874, German immigrant and lithographer, Louis Prang printed the first American holiday cards. The fronts of his cards were decorated with flowers and birds, similar to the English spring-themed cards. Firstly, he shipped his cards to England because sending cards had not yet visit the States en masse. In 1875, Prang began selling his cards in America.

By 1881, Prang's lithograph shop was producing over five million holiday cards 1 year. By for vacation, the fronts of those cards began to feature winter scenes, people around fireplaces and infants with toys. Mr. Prang became a stickler for quality craftsmanship. Today his cards are needed by collectors around the world. Unfortunately for Mr. Prang, other people imitated his style and were able to make cards more inexpensively, eventually causing him to go ahead out of business.

Over one more 168 years, the Christmas card industry has continued to grow inside multi-billion dollar industry, selling over four million cards per year with American Greetings and Hallmark controlling 80% of your market. Today every tom dick and harry sends about 20 Christmas cards per year. The holiday card tradition is forever embedded in Western cultures.
