Macy's Santa Claus, 1942
Santa Claus at Macy's New York in 1942. He is skinnier here than we know him now - but this photo reminds me of Miracle on 34th Street. It's my favorite Christmas movie and was made only 5 years after this photo was taken, so the movie was probably pretty representative of the times.
Just like today, the kids got a piece of candy and told Santa what they wanted.

Santa Claus Label, 1868
A label featuring Santa Claus for Sugar Plums by the U.S. Confection Company, New York, in 1868.
The label was entered into the Clerk's Office in the district of Southern New York. It's an interesting use of Santa for advertising in the mid 1800's. The image is familiar but has changed somewhat since then!

Samuel Erhart Drawing, Santa Claus, 1913
A drawing by Samuel Erhart of Santa Claus on Wall Street, for Puck Magazine,1913.
The caption says "Chorus of Bankers and Brokers: Just say Christmas to us this year, that's all! We dare you!" The drawing shows a mob of bankers, brokers, and financiers yelling at Santa Claus. Santa is hanging off of a statue of George Washington which is standing outside of Federal Hall in Manhattan, New York.
Here we are, 100 years later, and this satirical drawing could have been done today.
Courtesy of the Library of Congress, Samuel D. Erhart, artist.
A little history: In the Spring of 1913, the 16th Amendment had been passed, establishing a permanent Federal Income Tax. In the Fall, the push for a Federal Reserve began in earnest. Wall Street and banks said that a Federal Reserve would be bad, but several Congress members pointed out that this was a position that was publicly taken to get the Reserve established: "You allowed the special interests by pretended dissatisfaction with the measure to bring about a sham battle, and the sham battle was for the purpose of diverting you people from the real remedy, and they diverted you. The Wall Street bluff has worked."
Here is how Puck - a political magazine of the time - showed the battle. Wall Street won and the Reserve became law after the President signed a bill from Congress on December 23rd, 1913. Wall Street and bankers got their Christmas gift from Santa.

Santa Claus, 1902, Puck Magazine
Santa Claus on the cover of Puck Magazine in 1902.
Santa is entering a window (not coming in through the chimney!) and two beautiful young ladies are accosting him. I think it's interesting how Santa is depicted through the years - this was a view of him at the turn of the 20th century.
And Puck Magazine was only 25 cents!!
