In one wreath a dark-haired woman in a long full-skirted dress kneels at a multi-pane window, hands clasped in prayer beneath the moonlight. In the other, a bearded soldier in cap and greatcoat sits by a campfire, gazing at a small picture in his hand. \u003cem\u003eThomas Nast Christmas Eve Medallions\u003c\/em\u003e gathers both scenes under a radiant title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for lovers of Victorian illustration, Civil War history and quiet seasonal art, this reproduction of Nast's engraving suits a reflective corner of the home.

This is a giclee reproduction of that public-domain wood engraving, printed on archival matte paper rather than an original antique sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat scenes are shown inside the two wreaths?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo holly and evergreen circles hold the composition. The left wreath shows a woman kneeling in prayer at a moonlit window with children asleep nearby; the right shows a bearded soldier seated by a campfire with a rifle. Sleighs, flags, gravestones and distant rooftops fill the surrounding scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhy is the print black and white instead of colour?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNast worked in wood engraving, a monochrome technique built from fine hatching and grey wash tones. The original was printed in black ink on cream paper, so our reproduction keeps that true black, white, gray and beige palette instead of adding invented colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat size works for a living room wall?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a living room feature above a sofa or mantel, choose 24×36 or 32×40 so the detailed engraving reads from across the room. In a study or bedroom, 16×20 or 18×24 holds its own. Smaller sizes like 11×14 suit gallery groupings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus of Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x20","offer_id":48955639431360,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-16x20","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7","offer_id":48955639333056,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-5x7","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10","offer_id":48955639365824,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-8x10","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14","offer_id":48955639398592,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-11x14","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":48955639464128,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-A3","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24","offer_id":48955639496896,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-18x24","price":84.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25","offer_id":48955639529664,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-20x25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30","offer_id":48955639562432,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-24x30","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36","offer_id":48955639595200,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-24x36","price":115.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32x40","offer_id":48955639627968,"sku":"thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-32x40","price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/1758\/3296\/files\/thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art-land-statement.webp?v=1788455964","url":"https:\/\/hausofprints.com\/products\/thomas-nast-christmas-eve-medallions-wall-art","provider":"Haus of Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
