Vintage Louis Prang Christmas Card

This is one of a series of Louis Prang Christmas cards. 

In 1873, Prang began creating greeting cards for the popular market in England, and began selling the Christmas card in America in 1874. Therefore, he is sometimes called the "father of the American Christmas card." His cards are highly prized!!

I added a gold frame to this one :-)
