This Scarce 'Santa Claus' Type IV vignette was done by either John W. Casilear or Nathaniel Jocelyn. St. Nick enters the room with a basket of toys strapped to his back. Holding a doll in his hand, he seems pleased not to have awakened the children snug in their bed. The light and shadow used on this iconic image is outstanding.
