BLUFFTOk WINDOW SHOPPING NIGHT FRIDAY DC. I


War nearly ruined this trade, he
switched hurriedly to war maps and
portraits of generals. Meanwhile, he
perfected the recently-invented pro-
eesses of color lithography.
By 1870, Prang's "album cards"
and reproductions of oil paintings
were so fine they were being ordered
from England. A woman employee
in his London office suggested that he
print merry Christmas on some of
his floral cards in the space left blank
for a signature. He tried it in 1874
but only on cards being shipped to
| England.
The cards sold we'll overseas. En-
couraged, Prang offered them to the
American public in 1876. They were
an instant success, with their new
combination of beauty and holiday
sentiment.
Prang's early cards pictured
Spring-like roses, daisies, scarlet ger
aniums, sprays of apple blossoms
but not today's familiar holly and
poinsettia. In 1877 Prang added
humorous portrayal of Uncle Sam
and John Bull shouting at one an
other over Alexander Graham Bells
new-fangled invention, the telephone.
That same year, Prang's printing
plant burned to the ground - a
100000 loss. But he borrowed
money and rebuilt. When his new
cards appeared, they began to carry
Christmas-like scenes children
romping in the snow; fir trees; glow
ing fire places; even Santa himself.
By 1881, Prang was printing
100000 Christmas cards a year and
they formed the major part of his
business. He paid one artist, Dora
Wheeler, S2,000-an unheard-of-price
for one prize design.
Prang's cards are still famous
among collectors because of their ap-
pealing art work and painstaking
craftsmanship. Designs were printed
in as many as 20 different colors to
achieve delicate, life-like gradations
of tone. Many of the cards were
trimmed with luxurious silk fringe.
They usually cost from 25c to 81
apiece.

Adoption of offset printing and
watercolor inks enabled Christmas
cards to regain the beauty of Prang's
day at much lower cost. And with
the rapidly increasing variety Of de-
signs, people everywhere began to
regard Christmas cards as their per-
sonal messengers of holiday good
cheer.
In the span of single lifetime,
Christmas cards have developed from
penniless immigrants dream to one
of the nations most universal and
well-loved Christmas customs.

Louis Prang arrived in New York
City in 1850, just q century ago. A
skilled calico printer from Germany

Working for six years as a wood
engraver and leather-goods fnisher,

flower prints. But when the Civil
