1907 Christmas seal origin and 1984 tribute
A historical overview traces the Christmas seal from Denmark in 1904 to America where Emily Bissell's 1907 sale raised 3000 dollars for a tuberculin pavilion, leading to a national Red Cross backed drive. By 1920 the National Tuberculosis Association ran the sale solo, stamping “Tuberculosis Christmas seals.” The 1984 issue marks 50 years of the sanatorium movement and honors Dr Edward Livingston Trudeau with a "Little Red" cottage at Saranac Lake.
