This vintage magazine page features The Story of a Cheap Christmas Tree. The page includes illustrations of Santa, a decorated tree and a line up of toys. The story is about two young girls who combine their Christmas spending money to purchase a tree, decorations and gifts for their baby brother. The page is from the December 1900 issue of The Designer magazine.
Here is a black and white clip art version of the combined illustrations from the page (image below is larger than it appears in this preview).
And a clip art illustration of Santa without the sun in the background.

I LOVE getting your updates in my mail box….this art is priceless! I have been a graphic artist since high school (many, many moons ago) and worked professionally for 15+ years at a newspaper in Independence, Missouri. I have shared your site with other G.A. friends and we all adore it. Thank you so much for taking the time to keep this classic art and print work available for us!!!! I now live in Colorado and still am able to do work for folks out of my home……let me know if you are ever in the States…I would love to meet you!
Well said Ellen, I love it too. Thank you Julie
Thank you for the lovely comment Ellen! I’m happy to know that you and your G.A. friends are enjoying the graphics.
Thank you as well, Angela. 🙂
