Henry Cole was born in Bath, and educated at Christ's Hospital in London. He began his career at the age of 15 at the Record Commission. His criticisms of the Commission's activities were an important factor in the debates that led to the Public Record Office Act 1838, and the establishment of the new Public Record Office, in which Cole was appointed an Assistant Keeper. From 1837 to 1840, he worked as an assistant to Rowland Hill and played a key role in the introduction of the Penny Post. He is sometimes credited with the design of the world's first postage stamp, the Penny Black.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://postalheritage.org.uk/page/christmas-1stcard )〕 In 1843, Cole introduced the world's first commercial Christmas card,〔György Buday, George Buday (1992).
