Christmas picture books have been enchanting children and adults alike since they captured the imagination of readers in the latter half of the nineteenth century. .
Images from these charming picture books are enduring--a plump Santa Claus with snowy white beard, red suit and pipe, expectant children hanging stockings by the fire, and the silhouette of a sleigh and reindeer flying across a midnight-blue sky.
The delightful images here in The Old-Fashioned Santa Claus Picture Book were first produced in 1901 for the McLoughlin Co., renowned for its use of premier illustrators, such as Thomas Nast.
More than a century later, these timeless illustrations, so prized by collectors, will endear themselves to a new generation of Christmas picture book readers, and continue to "make glad the heart of childhood."
