We always say that Christmas as we celebrate it these days is a Victorian invention... well here it is! The first ever Christmas card - designed by J.C.Horsley RA in 1843, commissioned, published and posted by Sir Henry Cole (1808-1882), Victorian extraordinaire...Though the days are not completely gone when we design our own Christmas cards, I am afraid that they require time and a degree of organisation that we have not had in great measure in recent years...
So, with apologies for the mass and digital mailing, we would like to join Henry Cole in wishing you
A Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
May 2010 bring you peace and happiness!
