Best of all Nast Santa Claus prints!

Item # 174520 ·
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, January 1, 1881  The full front page is a Thomas Nast illustration: "The Dear Little Boy That Thought Christmas Came Oftener." Inside is a full pg. illus. of "A 'Possum Hunt in Old Virginia."

Also inside are a two-thirds page print: "Roasting the Pig."; a full pg. print: "The Salmagundi Sketch Club - Black and White Exhibition at the National Academy of Design."
Complete in 16 pages.
