A golden-haired angel drifts above a bank of clouds on this Best Christmas Wishes card, a sentimental motif that greeting printers used constantly. Commercial Christmas cards date to 1843, when Henry Cole had one printed in London, and by the late nineteenth century angels, robins and snow scenes were being produced in large numbers. The angel ties the card to the Nativity and its message of peace, while the soft colors and idealized face reflect the taste of the period. Cards like this were often tucked into letters or set on mantels during the season.
