Just who IS Thomas Nast, you ask?
Well.... his name you might not recall.. but, his art- oh, his art!
Oh, yeah... and he is considered to be the "Father of the American Cartoon." Political cartoons were some of his specialty. But, I love him best for these...
His depictions of Santa have endured and shaped the westernized and commercial view of Santa Claus since the second half of the 1800's. In 1890, he published Thomas Nast's Christmas Drawings for the Human Race.
