Sunday Bandstand 25 December 2022
This is a reproduction of the Christmas card designed by John Callcott Horsley for Henry Cole in 1843. and is recognised as the first Christmas card ever sent. If you were fortunate enough to find one in the dark corner of a cupboard at your house, well you are sitting on a fortune. The last one of these cards that was offered at an auction in New York was sold for $10,000. Whilst it is highly unlikely you will have one take a look at some of the cards you may have collected from your own childhood days they too may now be collectors items. Certainly not worth the $10,000 the first one was sold for but it could just be worth more than you think.
