Bizarre Christmas Cards

In 1885, Louis Prang and other Victorian artists started creating Christmas cards with strange and unusual designs, often adding a spooky twist to the holiday greetings.
Although the Victorian Age was known for its strict social rules, many Victorians enjoyed the weird, silly, and even creepy side of things—especially during the holidays.
Often included moral lessons or warnings.
