Here is a vintage magazine advertisement for The Everett Piano that was manufactured by The John Church Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. The ad includes a fun illustration of Santa (taking a break from delivering toys) having a jolly time playing the piano while two surprised children peek in on him around the edge of an open door.
Here is a black and white clip art version of the illustration from the ad.
I scanned the original page from the December 1892 issue of St. Nicholas magazine.

What a delightful image, as are all your images, Julie! Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas.
This is just delightful! I’ve never seen this and I love it, even though I’m not a huge Santa fan. My family has always had pianists and this makes me happy to see. Thank you!
Loved this one. Thanks for sharing. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Jamie, I’m glad to know you enjoy the images. A very blessed Christmas to you and yours as well. 🙂
Peggy, It’s nice to know this is new to you. You are blessed to have many pianists in your family. 🙂
Christine, I’m happy to know you love this one. Merry Christmas to you also! 🙂
