January 01, 1881
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, January 1, 1881 The most notable print is the terrific doublepage centerfold by Thomas Nast: "MERRY OLD SANTA CLAUS.", a classic image & perhaps one of the most reproduced of all Santa Claus prints used today in a wealth of advertisements and Christmas-themed promotions, etc. This print has water staining at center of the left & right margins extending a bit into the image (see). Otherwise minimal foxing or dirtiness with the central fold being quite clean & nice.
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, irregular & partially loose at the spine, water staining & foxing to the front leaf with mild margin wear (this was the first page in the volume). See above for the condition of the centerfold.
