Today I went to the Hallmark 100 Year Anniversary exhibition, located at the Taipei Story House. This captivating exhibition shows all the cards from the past 100 years. Although many of them are at least 100 years old, the cards in the exhibition are well-preserved. Back then, there were no e-mails. Messages had to be transmitted through physical mails. People began to make creative designs on cards in order to attract consumers. Some of them have humorous phrases written on them. Others have puzzles and mazes in them, entertaining the receivers. Some of them have three dimensional figures in them. One of the halloween cards has a witch with a stove that will pop up when you open it. There are cards made specially for different ages as well. There is one card, which contains a picture of a baby holding a number three, for three years old baby. There are cards made specifically for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and St. Patrick’s Day. All of these cards are beautiful and well-made. I like this Hallmark 100 Year Anniversary exhibition. Maybe I will start writing on cards with creative and special design.
