In the early years, among bureaucrats or social gentry, people with lower rank or seniority would visit the elderly or people with higher status at the beginning of the new year.

When Sir Henry Kaul saw this Christmas card, he felt very meaningful, so he asked the painter Maury to design and make a card and give it to a close friend.
