The famous story of the Cratchit family and Ebenezer Scrooge was a hit and Victorian England had almost fallen in love with Christmas. In 1843, Henry Cole commissioned the foremost commercially produced card for this occasion. The person who was responsible for designing the card was John Callcott Horsley. Somewhat more than two thousand cards designed by Horsley were printed. It was not before 1880 that greeting cards for the occasion became a staple for all.
