Skelton, published in The Sphere on November 27, 1922. The scene unfolds as Father Christmas, with his iconic rosy cheeks and white beard, enters a city gate, heralding the start of the festive season. A large group of excited children, bundled up against the winter chill, precede him, their eyes wide with wonder and anticipation. The city gate, adorned with garlands and twinkling lights, stands proudly in the background, welcoming the jolly old man and his entourage. Father Christmas's sleigh, pulled by a team of reindeer, adds to the magical atmosphere, as the first snowflakes begin to fall.

The children's joyous expressions and the warm glow of the city gate serve as a reminder of the timeless magic and wonder of the holiday season. J.R. Skelton's masterful use of color and detail captures the essence of the season, making this a must-have for any collection of winter and Christmas-themed art. This illustration, published in The Sphere on November 27, 1922, is an important piece of holiday history, and a beautiful reminder of the enchantment and excitement that comes with the arrival of Father Christmas.
