3 in 30: Holiday Cards of Yesteryear
This half-hour 3 in 30 programme looks closely at three holiday cards and the traditions behind them. The Christmas card as it is known today took shape in the Victorian era, through the customs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the influence of Charles Dickens, and the session traces its recurring themes, from children being bullied by animals to elaborate designs that imitate lace.
