This is a uncommon steel engraving of old Christmas done by Thomas Nast in 1878. It is the real deal . . original and antique. This illustration comes from his time as a major illustrator for Harper Bros. and the Christmas time series he did for them from the 1860s into the 1879. Thomas Nast was a famous controversial, political cartoonist. The condition of the print is very good. The piece framed is 22" X 29." . By itself, it image is 15" X 22." The matting has some foxing. An uncommon find for the holidays. It was purchased from the very prominent firm of Lyon's LTD Antique Prints in the 1990's.* Pick up only. Or, I can, and prefer, to ship this without the frame.
Merry Christmas!
