These Christmas cards are from the Library's nearly 1,000,000-item collection of photographs, drawings, films, slides and manuscripts from Charles and Ray Eames, perhaps the most innovative designers and entrepreneurs of the twentieth century. The Eameses saved hundreds of cards from friends, family and colleagues--some among the greatest artists and designers of our time. The lives and careers of this husband-and-wife-design team is documented in The Work of Charles and Ray Eames: A Legacy of Invention, a Library of Congress exhibition.
