Their creation was a tri-panel card that sold for 1 shilling (about 8 cents) and was met with mixed reviews. The outer panels featured people caring for the poor. The central picture depicted a family having a Christmas feast. What was so controversial? The center panel featured children drinking wine!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although started in 1840, only very rich people could afford to send anything in the post. Because the new railways being built, could carry much more post and could go faster than the horse and carriage, the introduction of the new &#8220;Penny Stamp&#8221; made sending mail affordable to the masses. Cards became even more popular in the UK when they could be posted in an unsealed envelope for half the price of an ordinary letter.<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.drivingfordeco.com\\\/staging\\\/3617\\\/merry-deco-christmas-card\\\/\"}' id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-3765 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/merry-deco-christmas-card\/tree-decorating\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?fit=236%2C347&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-3785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?w=236&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?resize=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1 204w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?resize=34%2C50&amp;ssl=1 34w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" data-attachment-id=\"3785\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/merry-deco-christmas-card\/tree-decorating\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?fit=236%2C347&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"236,347\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tree decorating\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Only two colors but speaks volumes.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?fit=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/tree-decorating.jpg?fit=236%2C347&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-3785'>\n\t\t\t\tOnly two colors but speaks volumes.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/merry-deco-christmas-card\/grreetings\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/grreetings.jpg?fit=236%2C289&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-3777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/grreetings.jpg?w=236&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/grreetings.jpg?resize=41%2C50&amp;ssl=1 41w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" data-attachment-id=\"3777\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/merry-deco-christmas-card\/grreetings\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.drivingfordeco.com\/staging\/3617\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/grreetings.jpg?fit=236%2C289&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"236,289\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"grreetings\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Three color graphic.

style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enter Louis Prang in 1875. Originally from Germany he was a printer who had worked on early cards in the UK. He started mass producing cards so more people could afford to buy them. In 1915, John C. Hall and two of his brothers created a small company you may have heard of called Hallmark Cards. As you may have guessed, they are one of the largest greeting card companies in the world (though their cards don&#8217;t cost 8 cents!).<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the 1910s and 1920s, home made cards became popular. (Remember those homemade invites from my party series?) Often in unusual shapes and with delicate trims such as foil and ribbon, they were usually too delicate to send through the post and were given by hand.<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-7
