Father Christmas enjoys a bit of Christmas Cheer. With his beer stein and large bowl of stew, Santa Claus looks quite jolly. Santa is surrounded by some holly and mistletoe. This page-sized image would make a great Christmas card.
This vintage Christmas image is from Christmas Poems and Pictures: a Collection of Songs, Carols, and Descriptive Poems, relating to the Festival of Christmas. It was published in 1884 with the illustrations of Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897).
This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
