A greeting card is a little but crucial part of every celebration since it fosters a special atmosphere of joy and can even bring back memories of a long-forgotten holiday years later. And everybody who receives a New Year card will experience the lovely feeling of childhood, miracles, and fairy tales. You can see how much attention and care have been valued throughout time by looking at exquisite illustrations of greetings from earlier years. These gorgeous holiday-themed illustrations and pictures transport us back in time like a time machine. They provide us with a wealth of information about the history and culture of our nation.

From England, the custom of sending holiday cards to loved ones spread to Russia. The first Christmas card is thought to have emerged in England in 1843. It featured his family at the dinner table and was commissioned by Sir Henry Cole, a painter John Horsley. The postcard was so well-liked that 1,000 copies of it were printed. Twenty years later, they were mass-produced.

In the late 19th century, the illustrated cards gained popularity overseas before going viral in Russia. In Russia, Christmas was reportedly celebrated on December 25th in the old fashion, and shortly after that, greeting cards started to be presented as gifts on New Year's Eve.

Family skits and an artwork of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden riding three horses through a snow-covered woodland and village with golden church domes and angels became quite famous. Christmas and the New Year were outlawed following the revolution. As a result, the cards also vanished.

The Soviet Union began mass producing greeting cards in the 1950s. Izogiz and Goznak printed large quantities of New Year cards that were embellished with illustrations created by the top Soviet artists. People in this large nation have the opportunity to wish their loved ones a happy new year by sending them cards. Ded Moroz and Snegurochka, happy children and their mothers, and fairytale figures were the most commonly portrayed Kremlin towers. The novelty of the subjects and the excellent level of artist professionalism more than made up for the prints' poor print quality and brightness. The 1960s were the height of the Soviet New Year card. In the 1960s, Father Christmas flew in a space rocket rather than a toy automobile. Postcards from the middle of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s showed a TV set and Ded Moroz visiting Soviet citizens' houses as marvels of modern technology. He was already traveling by electric train or aircraft by the middle of the 1970s. A picture postcard took the place of a greeting card in the 1980s. The majority of cards from that era included scenes of winter landscapes along with still lifes that included fir branches, dazzling balls, streamers, and burning candles. The usage of traditional crafts like Khokhloma bowls and Gzhel painted porcelain toys. Postcards with embossed images and foil text started to appear.

Today, the widest variety of Christmas and New Year cards may be found in any kiosk or store. However, there isn't as much excitement as there was 25 years ago. It's unfortunate because I'm sure we all have family and friends who would treasure even a small act of kindness.
