The first Christmas card produced in America was printed in Albany NY, by the merchant and printer Richard H. Pease (1813-1891) in 1850-51. It was a commercial Christmas card bearing the greeting: "Pease's Great Variety Store, in the 'Temple of Fancy', A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year". Only one copy of this card is known to exist. It is in the collection of the Manchester Municipal Library, Manchester University, UK. Pease was also the first person to use an image of Santa Claus as an advertisement in print, in the Albany Evening Journal, December 17, 1842. The Albany Institute of History & Art (in Albany NY), has information about the Pease family, and this card.
