Surrounded by toys and a loyal reindeer, Santa takes a moment to rest before making his rounds on Christmas Eve. This vintage, black and white Santa Claus Christmas image was originally published in a wonderful children’s magazine and while it is signed, it should be in the public domain because of the original publication date. It is from the December 23, 1879 edition of Harper’s Young People.
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.
