The earliest printed Christmas card (English, 1843).

Sir Henry Cole of London conceived the first Christmas card in 1843. Cole commissioned his friend, artist John Calcott Horsley, to design a holiday card that would replace his seasonal task of writing many letters. Horsley, a future member of the Royal Academy, illustrated a festive Victorian family flanked by charitable images of feeding and clothing the poor. He framed his design with twisted branches of wood and ivy, added 'A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year To You,' and included name spaces for the sender and recipient. An estimated one thousand copies of this 3' x 5' card were printed.
