  1. This is St. Nicholas (although I think he looks more like an elf) by wood engraver John Henry Walker.
    Walker was Irish and immigrated to Montreal in the 1820s. His illustrations appeared in many of Quebec's periodicals in the 19th century but he struggled to have his prints or wood engravings taken seriously as "art".

  5. This old-fashioned Santa Claus with a toboggan on his back and snowshoes on his feet is drawn from the Christmas 1894 issue of the Montreal Illustrated.

    Christmas is a great time to remember that snowshoes and the toboggan were first developed by First Nations peoples. Without these gifts, the first settlers would have struggled even more to overcome Canada’s harsh winters.

  9. Here's a cheerful Christmas illustration!

    Father Time (with a scythe a la Grim Reaper) greets Santa Claus who's accompanied by children from around the world.

    It's from Quebec's "Le Monde illustré" (1893) and the caption says "Le bonhomme Le Temps souhaitant la bienvenue à Santa Claus et à la nouvelle Année".
