The world’s most expensive Christmas card was sold at auction in Devizes, Britain, on November 24, 2004 for £20,000. The handmade card, measuring 13 x 8 cm, was created by British illustrator John Calcott Horsley in 1843.

Decorated and with its lights on, the tree was so impressive that it was featured on the cover of Life magazine.
