Shadows On A Maine Christmas (Antique Print Mystery Series Book 7) - Plot & Excerpts
Black-and-white wood engraving by Thomas Nast (1840–1902) for cover of Harper’s Weekly, January 4, 1879 showing a young boy with his dog in a snowstorm, putting an envelope addressed to “St. Claus, North Pole” into a United States post box. A toy store with a Christmas tree in front of it is in the background. Thomas Nast, often called “the man who invented Santa Claus,” produced Christmas drawings for Harper’s regularly from the 1860s until 1886. Although he based his “Santa” on Clement Moore’s poem, he added details such as Santa’s living at the North Pole and having a toy workshop, and children writing letters to Santa. Nast also popularized the Democratic donkey and created the Republican elephant, and his political cartoons helped take down Tammany Hall in New York City. 10 x 15 inches, including Harper’s Weekly: Journal of Civilization masthead. Price: $225. Despite the snow, the U.S. postal carrier had made his or her appointed rounds.
