That from which this facsimile was reproduced remains behind locked doors in New York's Fifth Avenue Library."

Shows only faint age-toning and trivial handling softening along the wrapper extremities. First published anonymously in the Troy Sentinel in December 1823, Clement Clarke Moore's A Visit from St. Nicholas redefined the iconography of Santa Claus in Anglo-American culture. The 1849 edition published by Spalding & Shepard at 189 1/2 Broadway marked the definitive early standalone illustrated presentation of the poem, featuring the influential visual interpretations of engraver Theodore C. Boyd. This mid-century facsimile keepsake—reproduced directly from the locked vaults of the New York Public Library's Rare Book Division—is a charming and desirable holiday collectible for Clement C. Moore and Christmas antiquarian ephemera enthusiasts.…
