“Christmas Drawings for the Human Race” was published in time for the 1890 Christmas season. It contained pictures that had appeared in Christmas issues of Harper\'s over a period of thirty years as well as some additional drawings made especially for the book. Clement Moore\'s \"A Visit from Saint Nicholas\" was again the inspiration for many of the new Christmas drawings, and Santa Claus was now depicted as the very embodiment of merriment and good cheer.\' (Grandson Thomas Nast St. Hill) Nast\'s depictions of Santa Claus and Uncle Sam, are credited as forming the basis of popular depictions used today.
