Christmas Cards: A History
Sending Christmas cards is tradition that exist for more than 150 years!
Christmas cards popped up in the United States in the mid-1800s. In 1875, Louis Prang, who wrote and published architectural books, printed images in color with a series of lithographic zinc plates. The process allowed up to 32 colors to be printed in a single picture, with the finished product resembling an oil painting.
These cards were in such high demand that Prang couldn't fill all his orders. Demand increased each year that followed, and at one point Prang was printing five million cards a year. His efforts earned him the nickname "Father of the American Christmas Card."
The first Christmas cards featured flowers and birds, then snow scenes, fir trees, and glowing fireplaces. Today, everything from clever verse and holiday scenes to geometric designs and sports figures grace the fronts of cards.
