American political cartoonist and illustrator (1840–1902) best known for devising the donkey and elephant symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties and the familiar ‘American’ version of Santa Claus. Original vintage signed ink sketch of a jack-in-the-box on an off-white 3.5 x 4.5 card, signed “Th: Nast, Jan-24-1880.” Some scattered light soiling, some light ink transfer from another sheet once laying on the sketch, and mounting remnants to reverse, otherwise fine condition. A wonderful sketch with great Christmas association, as Nast provided a cover illustration for the January 3, 1863, issue of Harper’s Weekly, which featured a jack-in-the-box, as well as drawing one for The Night Before Christmas.
