January 01, 1881
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."
But certainly 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 front page has some slight toning and roughness along the left spine, however the key centerfold Santa print is in unusually good, clean condition. It is tipped in (no binding holes), and other than two very small foxing spots along the right side (off the print itself), there is no staining, wear, or foxing on the print itself.
Complete in 16 pages and in unusually good condition.
