for to find out about the Christmas greetings card designer
pack. |
The
first examples of Greetings cards appeared in Germany
around the fifteen century, given at Christmas called,
Andachtsbilder.
Henry Cole, the first director of London's Victoria
and Albert Museum has been credited the inventor of
the modern day Greeting card, |
|
The
story is along the lines that each year he would send
a hand written Christmas best wishes letter to all his
family and friends,
come 1843 being pressed for time he commissioned a member
of the Royal Academy to lithograph and hand colour one
thousand copies of a card (shown above), which was then
sent to Cole's relations, and friends.
At around the same time the Penny post was also introduced
making the sending of cards affordable and ever more
popular, right up until today where here, in the UK
five thousand cards are bought every minute. |
