Yuletide Wishes:
The James Mullen Christmas Card Collection

The James Mullen Christmas Card collection was donated to the Archives of American Art in 2002 by James Mullen, professor Emeritus, State University of New York, Oneonta. During each holiday season, Mr. Mullen corresponded with his colleagues, students, friends and family by exchanging handcrafted holiday greetings. As the years passed, Mullen accumulated a meaningful and distinguished collection of artwork on paper.

The collection consists of forty-four original holiday greeting cards dating from the 1950s to the present. Several of the works are by James Mullen, while a majority of the collection consists of cards he received from artist friends.

For the holiday season, the Archives of American Art is exhibiting selections from this festive collection in our Washington, DC regional center. We also share with you an assortment of these cards on-line. Yuletide Wishes from the Archives of American Art!
