December 25, 1858

HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, December 25, 1858  The front page features a print: "Santa Claus Paying His Usual Christmas Visit to His Young Friends" shows him in a sleigh pulled by a turkey, with many toys. This is an early image of Santa Claus before the more common imagine created by Thomas Nast changed his appearance forever.
Inside pages have four prints by famed artist Winslow Homer: "The Christmas Tree" plus 3 more half page Christmas-themed prints captioned: "Christmas - Gathering Evergreens", "Christmas Out of Doors" and "Santa Claus and His Presents".
Complete in 12 pages. This issue is in "2nd rate" condition at best, leaves loose at the spine with various margin wear, some soiling, etc. but fortunately the mentioned prints are in good condition (see).
