A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Vintage Santa Claus Christmas Poster Print

Vintage Santa Claus Christmas Poster Print

A wonderful Antique Santa Claus from 1909

A wonderful 1909 Santa Claus laden with gifts beside the Christmas tree. I love his purple coat and hat, and the kind expression on his face.

About the artwork: From a 1909 postcard (silk), artist unknown. Lovingly restored and prepared for print by a professional graphic artist. Because the original was printed on silk (and it is, after all, over a century old!), the pattern of the silk loops may be somewhat apparent in larger sized prints and posters. A few minor imperfections remain and these add to the overall vintage charm. If you after a slick, modern look, however, then this print is not for you. I hope you will enjoy owning this print as much as I enjoyed preparing it for you.

Matching Christmas cards, postage stamps, binders, address labels, stickers, postcards, note cards and more are available in my gallery's Vintage Santa Collection.
