The Morgan Library & Museum has acquired the earliest manuscript with color illustrations of the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (more famously known as “The Night Before Christmas”) by Clement Clarke Moore. This manuscript was illustrated by Moore’s daughter, Mary Clarke Moore Ogden (1819–1893), and given to her husband John Doughty Ogden as a Christmas present in 1855. The volume features the first color illustrations of the poem, set as miniature vignettes within the decorative border surrounding the text.
