St. Nicholas Will Soon be Here

This vintage Christmas illustration features a boy, dressed in medieval attire, riding a horse. The boy is carrying an ornately decorated, medieval-style banner that displays the poem:

St. Nicholas will soon be here
He brings you love, he brings you cheer,
A merrie Christmas,
A glad New Year. Here is a black and white clip art version. I scanned the original illustration from the December 1897 issue of St. Nicholas magazine.
