SetIllustrating the Holidays
- 15 Artifacts
Artists have illustrated holiday cards since Henry Cole sent the first modern-day Christmas card in 1843. Over the next century, card publishers hired artists to design festive holiday works--many artists went unrecognized. However, by the mid-twentieth century, American greeting card companies actively promoted cards designed by well-known artists. This sampling showcases the stylistic range of notable twentieth-century artists and illustrators.
