Artifact Overview

Louis Prang, a German immigrant printer, created a variety of colorful, chromolithographed trade, album, motto, and greeting cards, as well as other prints and publications in the late 1800s. Many of these materials featured flowers, one of Prang's favorite subjects. Religious text highlights this carnation-print card from 1877. Prang also reused this flower print for a Christmas card.
