Very displayable Thomas Nast Santa Claus on the front page...



Item # 713387

January 03, 1874

HARPER'S WEEKLY January 3, 1874  The entire front page features a terrific & very desirable Thomas Nast illustration: "Christmas Eve - Santa Claus Waiting for the Children to Get to Sleep."  which is very displayable. Nast Santa Claus prints are very desirable as he is credited with creating the modern "jolly" version of Santa.
Inside finds a wealth of other Christmas-related prints including a two-thirds page print of "Christmas Day - Far From Home.";  two-thirds page print of "The Christmas Dinner Safe."; full page print of "Christmas Time - Won at a Turkey Raffle."; full page print of "Christmas Time - The Feathered Victims' Last Breakfast."; two-thirds page print of "The Jester's Revenge."; two-thirds page Nast print of "The Centennial Tea Party."; full page print of "The Ghosts Frightened By Men."; two-thirds page print of "The United States Senate in  Session."
Included is the Supplement as well.
Being the first issue in the volume it is typically very difficult to find in great condition, however this issue is very nice. Complete in 24 pages, a minor bit of dirtiness or foxing to the front page, minimal wear at the blank spine, in nice condition.
