The Civil War cartoonist Thomas Nast drew Santa Claus in his red-suited image for Harper's Weekly in 1862. Nast continued to draw Santa for 30 years and along the way changed the color of his coat from tan to the now traditional red. Santa Claus has been depicted from a tall gaunt man in a bishop's robe to a small elf-like figure. The modern-day Santa is a combination from a number of legends from many different cultures. He was first depicted in a Red Suit by Coca Cola.
