The First Christmas Card

The world's first commercially produced Christmas card, designed by John Callcott Horsley for Henry Cole (director of the South Kensington Museum, later the V&A Museum) in 1843.

The central picture showed three generations of a family raising a toast to the card's recipient: on either side were scenes of charity, with food and clothing being given to the poor.

Commercially, the card was unsuccessful, not only due to its price but also because the center design was thought to incourage drunkenness. It was subsequently removed from the market.
