Santa Claus appears here in a blue robe rather than the red suit that became standard in later decades, a detail that places the image in the earlier twentieth century, when illustrators and printers were still experimenting with his colors. He stands among a heap of toys beside a decorated tree, the kind of scene that Christmas advertising and greeting cards turned into a familiar formula. Blue was once a common choice for his costume in American and European holiday art, so the picture is worth noticing as a reminder of how fixed the modern image of Santa has not always been.
