Christmas Card
History is Cloudy
It is generally believed that
the first card designed as a
Christmas greeting, was done
in England by J. Horsley in
(1843). Actually the search for
the "first" is still going on. Al-
though It bore no specific greet-
ing, The New York historical
society, some 30 years before
the Horsley card, sent to mem-
bers and friends of the society
a woodcut of ST* NICHOLAS,
which bore a Christmas poem
in both Dutch and PEnglish.
In 1932 Carl W. Drepperd
discovered in a Pennsylvania
attic a* Beadsheet "Issued about
1842 by John M. WeUf, a Phil-
adelphia printer. The sheet fea-
tured a reproduction of C. C.
Moore’s "The visit of St. Nich-
olas" and carried a greeting "A
Merry Christmas and A Happy
New Year”.1
The first commercial Christ-
mas card business was in 1863
by an English firm.
