HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, January 4, 1873
* Caricaturist Thomas Nast
* Christmas - Santa Claus
Certainly the most notable print is the great tipped-in (no binding holes) doublepage centerfold by Thomas Nast captioned: "The Same Old Christmas Story Over Again" showing two kids sleeping amongst their dreams. Santa Claus with his bag of toys is here as well.
The front page shows: "Christmas Dinner Gone!" with two Black men chasing a rabbit. Inside has a full page Thomas Nast political cartoon: "The Finger of Scorn" and a half page: "Old Swedish Church in Philadelphia" as well as a full page: "New-Year's Call--The Knickerbockers of 1650 and 1873".
Sixteen pages, very nice condition.
