hands up älgPoster with a slightly more controversial Christmas motif from the year 1912 by the American illustrator Will Crawford. The image shows a Santa who appears to have robbed a store of some sort for valuables that he holds in a bag in his left hand, and in the other he points a gun at the viewer. The picture can be interpreted as a critical stance towards Christmas and the consumerism that some feel comes with the holidays. Frame not included. Please
