Christmas Music Presents The History Of The Christmas Card
From the time I can remember, Christmas meant Christmas Music and Christmas Tree Ecards. The Christmas card, as we realize it, originated in England in the year 1843. An artist named John Calcott Horsley was appointed by Sir Henry Cole, a wealthy and successful London factory owner, to create a card that could be sent out to his contacts and clients to wish them a merry Christmas.
Sir Henry Cole was very well acknowledged at the time, for a number of reasons. He had a assisting hand in helping to modernize the British postal system. He played a prominent function in the establishment of the Royal Albert Hall, and acted as the construction manager on this immense endeavor. He also arranged for the Great Exhibition of 1851, and he oversaw the inauguration of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
One of Sir Henry Cole’s best aspirations in life was to titivate the world around him. He owned and operated a breathtaking art shop on Bond Street, which concentrated in ornamental objects for the family unit. His shop was hugely accepted with the British upper class, and he earned a tidy sum from his business.
The Christmas card he commissioned was fashioned in the form of a triptych, which is a three-paneled design that allows for the two outer panels to be folded in towards the middle one. Both of the two side panels describeed a virtuous deed. The first illustrateed an image of people clothing the impoverished, and the other side panel illustrateed an image of people feeding the hungry. The center piece had an picture of a well-to-do family making a toast and surrounded by an huge feast.
The words on the inside of the card translate "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you." Of the one thousand cards produceed for Sir Henry Cole, only twelve exist today in private collections. The printed card became highly fashionable in England throughout the years that followed. They also became exceptionally popular in Germany. It took quite a prolonged time for the initiative to catch on in America, then popularized by a German expatriate named Louis Prang in 1875. In the present day, more than 2 billion Christmas Cards are exchanged each year. Merry Christmas, all!
