There's 8, of a 16-piece set, of the first-ever released Grandma Moses Christmas Cards, from 1946. Jane Kallir, in her essay on Aana Mary Robertson, better known as Grandma Moses; "In November 1944 Kallir and Story signed a contract with Moses, agreeing to jointly and exclusively represent her. The arrangement not only guaranteed the artist a steady source of income and freed her from the demands of sometimes capricious individual customers, but, most important, it gave her consistent and coherent management. The events that established Grandma Moses’s reputation nationally, and then internationally, followed in relatively quick succession. Kallir immediately launched a traveling exhibition program that over the course of the next two decades brought Moses’s work to more than thirty U.S. states, ten European nations and finally, in a Cold-War-era triumph, Moscow. In 1946 the first Grandma Moses Christmas cards and the first monograph, Grandma Moses: American Primitive, were published. Both enterprises proved so successful than in 1947 Hallmark took over the greeting card license, and Doubleday reissued the book in a larger print-run."
