It dates back to 1843 when Henry Cole (1808 - 1882), a wealthy businessman in England, asked John Callcott Horsley (1817 - 1903), an artist in London, to design a beautiful card to give. friend. At Christmas that year, Horsley released the world's first card and it then printed 1000 copies. Christmas cards quickly exploded and became a trend in England during the 10 years since the British Government passed legislation in 1846 allowing any citizen to send mail anywhere at low cost. It was not long before the trend entered Germany and it was not until 30 years later that the Americans accepted it.
