Description

Alexander Sandier won Second Prize ($500) in Prang’s first prestigious Christmas card competition. Held in June 1880 at the American Art Gallery, judges included Stanford White, John LaFarge, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Samuel Colman. The cards were published until the 1890s when inexpensive German cards flooded the market and Prang chose to pursue other printing ventures.
