Nast appears within the art. Working in black ink on cream paper, he built the scene in dense crosshatching typical of Victorian wood-engraved illustration. Our print is a giclée reproduction of that public-domain artwork, not an original engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat is happening in this scene?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside a parlour on Christmas Eve, a kneeling girl slips a box labelled CANDY and a note for Santa Claus into the fireplace hearth. A woman in an apron and a small child in nightclothes look on. Three stockings hang from the mantel, above which sit a clock and a large decorated urn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eIs this an original antique print or a reproduction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a modern giclée reproduction of Thomas Nast's public-domain Christmas illustration, printed on 230GSM archival matte paper. You are not buying an old engraving or a physical antique card. It is a fresh print made to order, so the detail and paper are new while the artwork itself is historic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat size suits a living room wall?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a living room feature above a sofa or mantel, the 24×36 or 32×40 sizes read boldly from across the room. In a hallway or beside a reading nook, 16×20 or 18×24 sits comfortably. Ten sizes are offered so you can match the wall and viewing distance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus of Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x20","offer_id":48954780025024,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-16x20","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7","offer_id":48954779926720,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-5x7","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10","offer_id":48954779959488,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-8x10","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14","offer_id":48954779992256,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-11x14","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":48954780057792,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-A3","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24","offer_id":48954780090560,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-18x24","price":84.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25","offer_id":48954780123328,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-20x25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30","offer_id":48954780156096,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-24x30","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36","offer_id":48954780188864,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art-24x36","price":115.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32x40","offer_id":48954780221632,"sku":"thomas-nast-reciprocation-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-reciprocation-wall-art-framed-statement.webp?v=1788442956","url":"https:\/\/hausofprints.com\/products\/thomas-nast-reciprocation-wall-art","provider":"Haus of Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
