1882 HARPER’S WEEKLY THOMAS NAST XMAS ENGRAVING: SANTA CLAUS TAKES OVER CONGRESS:
$199.00

Hand-colored wood block engraving from a December 1882 issue of Harper’s Weekly magazine: “ Congress & Reform” . This is an original nineteenth century Harper's Weekly hand colored Victorian era Christmas print by artist Thomas Nast, the creator of our modern graphic conception of Santa Claus.

Our original prints are hand colored in-house by a professional colorist using premium pencils and water color paints in the English tradition. The subject matter is carefully researched to ensure authentic period coloring.  It is a very detailed process that often requires the use of a magnifying glass.

The prices of our hand colored prints are determined based on a variety of factors including the condition and scarcity of the original print and the complexity and amount of time it takes to finish the particular coloring project.   We offer hand coloring services for prints provided by customers at the rate of $50 per hour.

We have been collecting Harper's Weekly graphic art for over 40 years and only offer original full issues and authentic individual engravings. Please message us with any questions about this item or any other Harper's Weekly engravings.
