Laura Seddon Greeting Card Collection, Historical greeting card collection at Manchester Metropolitan University, England
The Laura Seddon Greeting Card Collection contains 32,000 cards from British publishers, featuring hand-printed and mass-produced items from different periods.
Following her donation to Manchester Metropolitan University in 1992, Laura Seddon received recognition as an Honorary Fellow for her contribution.
The collection presents Victorian and Edwardian greeting cards that document social values, printing techniques, and artistic trends of the 19th century.
Researchers can examine the collection in the Reading Room through scheduled appointments and must obtain permission for photography of specific items.
The collection holds Britain's first commercial Christmas card from 1843 and the only known copy of America's first Christmas card from 1850.
