Every year millions of Christmas cards exchange hands. The tradition of giving Christmas cards started in the late 1800s. The history of Christmas cards as we know it today started out in London although some primitive forms of Christmas cards had been used before that.
Who invented Christmas cards? The history of Christmas Cards
Although some forms of Christmas cards had been used before the late 1800s, official Christmas cards weren't invented until the time of Sir Henry Cole. Sir Henry Cole was an Englishman and an inventor in the 1800s in London. He commissioned a well known illustrator called Horsley to make him a card to send to his friends and associates to wish them a happy Christmas. Soon printed Christmas cards (as well as other types of greeting cards) became very popular in England and Germany. In 1875, the idea of Christmas cards began to catch on in America when the Boston lithographer called Louis Prang published cards. For his introduction of Christmas cards and other greeting cards to America, Louis Prang was named the father of American Christmas cards.
