Wishing everyone Happy Holidays with
some nineteenth century Christmas cards from the collections of the Sandusky
Library Archives Research Center. You can see that at this time, instead of
evergreen trees, gifts, and stockings, the cards were decorated with images of
flowers. Fringe is attached all around the cards. Perhaps your ancestors
received holiday cards like these!
You can read about the history of
Christmas cards and other greetings cards in the book Encyclopedia of Ephemera, by Maurice Rickards (Routledge, 2000),
available for loan from the Sandusky Library.
