Cards Came Late in Yale Traditions
The origins of Christmas greeting cards trace from early 19th century England with Egley’s pasteboard designs and Boerner’s New Year apology card. By 1843 Sir Henry Cole and Horsley popularized mass cards. U S producers and German immigrants boosted growth, and by World War I inexpensive lithographs made cards widespread in America.
