Vintage Christmas Cards For Your Worst Enemy
Before AI could create images of anything like it's nothing, we had Photoshop. But before that, there were other creative ways to make surreal images, and we're talking about the 1930s.
Christmas cards were a great opportunity to gather the family together under a special theme, but people didn't have much say in what the cards were going to look like. It was all left to chance and the skill of the editor. And since it wasn't a super common thing, there weren't any trends people would follow. So, everybody would come up with a ridiculous idea, just to make sure it was impossible for the picture to be real. Some were better than others, but here are vintage Christmas cards for your worst enemy.
