        History

        Joseph Thomas Wood was a printer and publisher based in London. He was a leading maker of lace paper from the 1840s to 1870s as well a greeting cards and memorial cards. He began ‘cameo embossing’ on his cards that featured large figurative scenes embossed directly on the paper. He was also known for using a special type of glazed card which was shiny on one side, a product he called the ‘enameled card’. At one point, Wood was the largest wholesale manufacturer of plain and fancy stationery in the country as well as the ‘largest Valentine manufactory in the world’ in 1873. After Wood died, the company lost momentum and was handed over to various relations.
