Behold the Ingenious Rudolfsteam Sled Apparatus , the extraordinary vehicle designed in 1880 by Sire Nicholas Sinterklaas Noël. An extremly contaminant, unconfortable and beautiful device feeded by a magic mushroom engine. I know is a bit late for this kind of christmasy illustration, but every day is a good day for some cool steampunkish stuff.
This was published by a national greeting card company as a Christmas card. Santa has crash-landed his sleigh on top of the outhouse startling the occupant. (Fully copyright protected by the publishers and artist)
