EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming engraving by Thomas Nast from Harpers Weekly, we are transported back to Christmas in 1879. The scene captures the essence of the holiday season as a young boy stands outside an old-fashioned mailbox, eagerly mailing his letter to Santa Claus. The boy is bundled up in a warm coat, braving the late winter cold and snow that blankets the ground around him. His faithful dog accompanies him on this important mission, providing companionship and loyalty during this magical time of year. Nast's intricate illustration skillfully portrays the exterior of the mailbox, showcasing its vintage charm and adding a touch of nostalgia to the image. The attention to detail allows us to imagine ourselves in that moment, witnessing this timeless tradition unfold before our eyes. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder and anticipation for what lies ahead. This artwork reminds us of the innocence and joy that comes with believing in something greater than ourselves during Christmastime. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another masterpiece from their collection - a window into America's past through art. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, some traditions remain constant throughout history – like children sending letters filled with hopes and dreams off into the wintry night sky.
