The first mass-produced cards appeared in 1843, a great invention to streamline the busy correspondence of the season by creating a fancy illustration card with a pre-printed greeting. At shilling each, they were quite out of reach for most people, but with the combination of the freshly-invented Baxter printing process (making colour printing easier and cheaper) and the "penny post" reform (making the postal cost affordable to more people), the cards finally took off to great popularity and the designs became really diverse. Quirky and bizarre scenes, funny animals and black humour seemed to be very common - unexpected topics for a Christmas cards from our modern perspective! Winter themes, snow, holly, robin birds and children (a symbol of innocence and, perhaps, pure holiday joy) were also very popular of course. But not in this set! We're going with the pure and undistilled classics here! ♡ Printed in UK with eco-friendly toner on card made from sustainably sourced pulp, part of the Carbon Capture Programme. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
