  • All-occasion Cartoon Greeting Card Zen
    The sending of greeting cards and Egypt. These, so-called greetings were actuallyhand-written messages of good cheer on papyrus scrolls for New Years, the only day celebrated with such a "card". In the 15th Century, in Germany wood-sculpted New Years cards were exchanged. Later that in that century, paper Valentine's cards were given not just in Germany but all over Europe. It was not until the mid 19th century that the card had evolved into an affordable attractive way to communicate a message on other occasions, and were made on printing presses. In 1840, the postage stamp was created and this served to fuel this industry. The U.S. Post Office found itself delivering about 11 million more letters per year. An artist named John Horsley rendered the first Christmas card in 1843 in London. He had been commissioned by Sir Henry Cole so that he might send it to his friends to spread holiday cheer. The first Valentine card was actually not a card at all, but a message given by St. Valentine to his executioner. He was in prison for secretly performing marriage to military-aged men during the Fall Of The Roman Empire. Claudius felt marriage weakened the soldier and had outlawed it. While in prison, St. Valentine, who was known to have healing powers, allegedly healed the blindness of his jailer's daughter. "From Your Valentine" was a note that St. Valentine scribbled and handed his executioner, also his jailer, right before his death.
