Santa Claus: Moore and Nast Shaped the Modern Image
The legend traces Santa's modern look to Clement Clark Moore who wrote A Visit from St. Nicholas and Thomas Nast the cartoonist who visualized Santa with red suit, white beard, cap, boots, a toy pack and pipe. Nast added a spyglass and a big book to track good and bad children. The 1863 depiction set the enduring image that persists today.
