Background:
The beautiful children's Christmas prints shown on this page accompanied a 1917
edition of Clement C. Moore's holiday poem The Night Before Christmas, originally
published on December 23, 1823 in the Troy (New York) Sentinel with the title A Visit
from St. Nicholas.
The prints are based on illustrations by the
American artist Margaret Evans Price (1888-1973). In addition to being an artist and
children's book illustrator, Price was a toy manufacturer. She co-founded
Fisher-Price toys in 1930 with her husband (Irving) and Herman Fisher. One of their
original line of toys was based on characters from her children's books.
