One Rare Die Proof 'Santa Claus' Type I Vignette. It is believed that Freeman Rawdon, George W. Hatch, or James P. Major performed the engraving work on this lovely vignette produced by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson featuring Santa Claus in his sleigh on a snow covered rooftop. They were the only three engravers at the firm at that time that likely had the skill it would have taken to produce such an engraving.
