American Christmas cards began on a commercial scale about 85 years ago thanks to Boston lithographer Louis Prang who became known as the Father of American Christmas cards. He used chromolithography to produce vibrant multi color designs inspired by a moss rose painting by Miss D E Whitney and later added religious scenes in the mid 1880s.
Prang continued to make Christmas cards for 20 years until German imitations crowded the market. A proud craftsman, Prang retired from the greeting card scene and turned to other activities rather than let cheap German imports compete with his quality cards.
