The Victorians invented many of the Christmas characters and icons that we celebrate today. They even gave us Santa Claus, distilled from a number of gift-giving predecessors into the merry, red-suited elfin figure first depicted by artist Thomas Nast in 1863. The ten handmade cards in this book are based on some of the most beautiful and evocative Victorian Christmas greetings that have survived for more than a century.
