THREE YULE
‘FIRSTS’
Robert F. Hill
Frazier Lominack
Claims to being ‘‘firsts’*
among Christmas cards are
held by thzse early designs.
“Which came first?” and “who
thought of it first?” are the two
questions asked since time im
memorial. These questions have
baffled historians, challenged de
tectives, caused law students to
burn the midnight oil — but most
of all—have intrigued the public.
For the last few years there’s been
a big to-do about the “first” Christ
mas card and the subject has fas
cinated many greeting card col
lectors, art dealers, museum cura
tors and a sizable portion of the
American and British public.
The earliest Christmas card on
record, in the light of recent find
ings, appears to be that of W. M.
Egley, dated 1842. Discovered in a
mass of skating prints by the Brit
ish museum, it is indisputedly a
Christmas card and seems to have
been produced for general use. It
resembles the early New Year’s
cards of German origin with its va
rious scenes enclosed in a half
gothic, half-rustic trelliswork and it
depicts the Christmas pantomine
“Harlequin and Columbine,” a pup
pet booth, skaters and other scenes
relating to the holiday season. Its
sentiment reads “A Merry Christ
mas and A Happy New Year to
You.”
Until the Egley card was discov
ered, the first known Christmas
card was, for years, thought to
have been the one designed by J.
C. Horsley RA for Sir Henry Cole
in London in 1846 who wanted a
card to send to his friends at Christ
mas. Horsley’s card was litho
graphed by Jobbins of Warwick
court and a thousand copies struck
off. These were colored by hand
and featured among other scenes a
merry family group holding filled
wine glasses aloft.
An eminent American author
ity on greeting cards and a relent
less collector of early creations, E.
D. Chase of Boston claims that he
has found what he believes to be
the “first” Christmas card — but
until some scientific corroboration
is forthcoming we must consider
his discovery a “dark horse” in the
running. That it is a very “early”
card — there can be no question.
Our collector traced R. H. Pease,
the lithographer whose name ap
pears at the bottom of the card,
down to the year 1839 where the
latter was listed in the Albany,
N. Y., directory as an engraver.
The thing, however, that stumps the
experts is the fact that there is no
date on the card itself.

• It is said that the coming year’s
weather may be forecasted by
cocking an eye at the sky during
Christmas week. Here are a few of
the beliefs; conflicting in many de
tails: *
• If the sun shines through the ap
ple tree on Christmas Day, there
will be a good crop the following
year.
• If ice will bear a man before
Christmas, it will not bear a mouse
afterwards.
• Thunder and lightning Christmas
week means much snow the balance
of the winter.
• Rain causes more damage than
frost before than after Christmas.
• At Christmas if meadows are
green, at Easter they will be cov
ered with frost.
• If windy Christmas Day, trees
will bear much fruit.
• A wet Christmas means an
empty granary and barrel.
• A green Christmas makes a fat
graveyard. •
• A warm Christmas means a cold
Easter.
• A green Christmas is followed by
a white Easter.
