And in the year 1843 when Sir Henry Cole, an English inventor in London, had the bright idea of giving his friend, the painter John Calcott Horsley, to design the first postcard with a scene of a happy family gathered around the table , with the caption "a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you."I really found it very interesting to England postcards hanging in their homes, sent by their familiars and friends with a rope on the wall.
