When and in which country was the world's first Christmas card born?

The world's first Christmas card 1843 was born in Britain.

1843, an Englishman, Sir Henry Galore, suggested that the card designed by John Karl Gerhorsley was a noble family, and three generations raised their glasses to congratulate an absent relative. At that time, he printed 1000, and the world's first Christmas card was sold by an idle printing house at the price of 1 shilling, which was born.

The origin of Christmas cards can be traced back to1mid-9th century. 1844 Edward Bradley, a priest and novelist in Newcastle, England, sent a lithograph card on his birthday. However, some people think that the earliest Christmas cards were actually hand-painted color cards sent by W.A. Dobson, president of Birmingham Art Institute in 1844. Another artist, William Eggli, is a contemporary artist. He once designed Christmas cards. Later, his first card was treasured and sent to the British Museum in 1930. The card says "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". 1884, The Times of London emphasized that the first Christmas card was a Christmas leaflet designed by john carr Kurt horsley at the request of Prince Albert. Future Christmas cards include pictures, short poems and anecdotes, most of which are still dominated by scenery and flowers.

Christmas cards were introduced to the United States by German immigrant Louis Pollan. He opened a printing factory and bookstore in Roxbury, Massachusetts. At first, he only printed flowers and greetings. Seven years later (188 1 year), surprisingly, he printed and distributed five million copies. As a result, he openly solicited drawings and designs, which caused numerous artists to apply for jobs, and the competition was fierce. In the future, there will be more and more exquisite designs on Christmas, which will become an indispensable thing for Christmas.
