December 20, 1884
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, December 20, 1884 Certainly the prime feature of this issue is the great two page spread with two prints by noted artist Thomas Nast. One is captioned: "Hello! Santa Claus!" showing a girl on the telephone, and the other is: "Hello! Little One!" showing Santa Claus on the phone as well. This is the classic portly, jolly image of Santa (Nast is credited with creating the modern version of Santa Claus) with a pipe in his hand, a rosy nose, and in a fur-trimmed suit (see). A great two page spread for display!
Many other prints in the issue as well. Sixteen pages and in very nice condition.
