Christmas Cards: First Edition

By the mid-1960s, my Dad's interest in photography was flowering. He began an almost-annual custom of sending holiday photo cards. Back then, photo cards were unusual, and they were not as quick to order as they are in our digital era.

Dad usually selected an image from our summer vacation for the photo card. He never chose family pictures or pet photos. The object of the photo usually was a landscape, a tree, or a flower.

I'll post scans of some of those cards in the next few weeks.


December, 1966. Dad chose an image from our trip to Glacier National Park for his first holiday photo card.
