What is generally conceded to be the first card specifically designed as a Christmas greeting the card designed in England by J. Horsley for Sir Henry Cole (in 1843) did not meet with an enthusiastic reception. Sent to his personal friends, Cole's card had aide panels which depicted the feeding of the hungry and the clothing of the naked. This was well and good. The objections to the card arose from the illustration in the central panel a scene in which a middle-clas- s English family raised their wine glasses to toast an absent friend (obviously the recipient of the card). The scene so a routed temperance zealots that Cole never authored another card. StUI Looking Actually the search for the "first" Christmas card is still going on. Although it bore no specific greeting, the New York Historical Society, some 90 years before the Horsley-Col- e card, tent to members and friends of the society a woodcut of St Nicholas, which bore a Christmas poem in both Dutch and English.
