介绍（中）	纳斯特的照片发表在1862年的《哈珀周刊》圣诞刊上，当时正值联邦审判和希望高涨的日子。圣诞老人乘雪橇来到联邦军营分发礼物。这是纳斯特构思并介绍我们现代圣诞老人形象的时刻。他将圣尼古拉斯的欧洲传统与来自祖国德国的精灵民间形象相结合，创造了一个现在与圣诞节联系在一起的快乐送礼者，在这里为远离家乡的士兵欢呼。他分发成箱的必需品，如保暖袜子、《哈珀周刊》，并用套索上悬挂的跳跃千斤顶娱乐人群，套索的胸前写着"杰夫"，指的是邦联总统杰佛逊·戴维斯。在背景中，士兵们追逐一只逃跑的猪，在烤肉架上烤肉，玩游乐场游戏，比如爬上涂了油的杆子。该期刊标题页上的这张图片得到了期刊内两页纸的支持，该图片显示圣诞老人在纽约看望熟睡的儿童（见33.35.26和29.88.4（8））。
介绍（英）	Nast's image was published in the 1862 Christmas issue of Harper’s Weekly, during days filled with both trials for the Union and rising hope. Santa Claus has arrived by sleigh in a Union army camp to distribute gifts. This was the moment that Nast conceived and introduced our modern image of Santa Claus. Combining European traditions of St. Nicholas with folk images of elves from his native Germany, he created the jolly gift-giver now associated with Christmas that here offers cheer to soldiers far from home. He distributes boxes of necessities such as warm socks, copies of Harper's Weekly, and entertains the crowd with a jumping jack dangling from a noose, its chest lettered "Jeff" in reference to the Confederate President Jefferson Davis. In the background, soldiers chase an escaped hog, roast meat on a spit and play fairground games such as climbing a greased pole. This image on the title page of the journal was supported by a two-page spread within the journal that shows Santa visiting sleeping children in New York (see 33.35.26 and 29.88.4(8)).
