Christmas Card, 1956
01
Artifact Overview
Mailing colorful, commercially designed greeting cards was a 20th-century American tradition. During the holidays, friends and neighbors commonly exchanged cards wishing one another a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. The use of pink - a non-traditional holiday color - in this 1950s example reflects popular tastes of the time.
