Wood Engraving Block
A one—sided wood cut with a scene of a bear chasing Santa Claus. Santa Claus is running away from the bear in fright and toys are dropping out of the bag he holds on his shoulder. Toys litter the hilly ground including a doll and candy cane. The bear chases Santa on all fours and seems to have an feral grin on his face. Above their heads a banner is carved with a backwards 'Merry Christmas' A black stain was used on top of a lighter wood. On the flip side, a similar image is lightly drawn in black ink.
