Here's a Christmas papercraft that is over 100 years old! Originally published in a 1912 issue of McCall's magazine, the piece depicts a fireplace decorated for Christmas.Stockings are hung with care. A letter is waiting for Santa on the mantel. The creator of the piece is Jeremiah Crowley, one of several artists who designed paper toys for McCall's in the early twentieth century. One of Crowley's specialties was paper toy animals.
