The first Christmas card appeared in Britain in the 1840s. By the 1880s, following the invention of the chromolithographic process and developments within the postal system, millions were being exchanged each year. This talk will trace the history of the Christmas card in Britain from its Victorian origins through the Edwardian era, World War 1 and the inter-war years exploring their art and changes in style.
