Thomas Nast: Also View Our: Thomas Nast Collection  025xmas: VERY RARE, Old Christmas Santa by Thomas Nast. This beautifully hand colored, rare engraved scene was drawn by Thomas Nast and published in the Jan. 4, 1873 issue of Harper's Weekly. Nast was the originator of our modern concept of Santa Claus, and this is a fine example of his work. The scene is titled "The Same Old Christmas All Over Again." It features two young children asleep in their beds, with fanciful images of toys and storybook characters around them. Santa Claus is in the front of the scene, bowing towards the children. Several repairs have been made to this print, by a restoration professional. The margins in the bottom left and right corners have been extended, where part of the paper was cut off, but the image is not affected. In the bottom center of the sheet, a one-inch piece has been replaced and a small part of the title is missing in that spot. Overall condition is really quite good, though, and this print would look fantastic in a frame!! 16x22 in. $300  200xmas: VERY RARE Civil War Christmas Santa by Nast.
