The
Earliest Christmas Card Found From 1842
The article notes that the earliest dated Christmas card on record is W. M. Bagley’s 1842 card, discovered at the British Museum. It resembles early New Year cards with pantomime scenes, and predates Horsley’s 1846 London card long thought to be the first. American collector EB Chase cites a prior claim but lacks a dated example.
