"The Night Before Christmas" by Thomas Nast, from the 30 December 1876 issue of Harper's Weekly magazine. The image shows a small boy standing on a bear rug and hanging a large stocking with the word "MOTHER" on it on a fireplace mantel and is subtitled "A Chance to Test Santa Claus's Commitment." On the reverse is a magazine page with science, home and foreign news and humor. There is also an image pertaining to the House of Representatives and post-Civil War issues. With some small stains, browning and light soiling, the overall condition is good.
