EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and whimsical 19th-century print, we are transported back in time to witness Santa Claus himself indulging in a modern marvel of technology - the radio. Captured by the American School, this charming colour lithograph showcases Father Christmas engrossed in his favourite tunes while preparing for his annual gift-giving journey. The image exudes a sense of joy and merriment as Santa leans forward, listening intently to the wireless device. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a rosy-cheeked smile on his face, he seems thoroughly entertained by what he hears through those magical airwaves. This historic artwork also holds an interesting historical context. Created as an advertising card for St Nicholas magazine in December 1924, it captures the spirit of anticipation during the festive season. The humorous twist on Clement Clarke Moore's iconic poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas" adds another layer of amusement to this already amusing scene. As we gaze upon this comic masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Barbara Loe Collection, we can't help but be reminded that even timeless figures like Santa Claus enjoy their moments of leisure and entertainment. This print serves as a reminder that amidst all our responsibilities and preparations during the holiday season, taking time to relax and enjoy some lighthearted fun is just as important - even for jolly old Saint Nick himself!
