Collector's Edition Featuring the Original Story by "Sparkie" with the Classic Oil Paintings by George Hinke Jolly Old Santa Claus, whose author was known only as Sparkie,Ó was first published by Ideals magazine in 1961. This vol. republishes this collector's ed. featuring Hinke's oil paintings along with the original story. Hinke was born in Germany, in 1883 & schooled in a classic painting. From 1944 until 1953, he created many works of art for Ideals. The paintings shown here are rendered in oil on stretched canvas. The influence of his German background is evident: from Santa's castle, which resembles the castles of Bavarian kings, to the Black Forest clock on the wall of Santa's workshop, to the elves themselves, reminiscent of stone characters that decorate German gardens.
