St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 460 pictures

St. Nicholas was an American illustrated magazine for children, published in New York by Scribner in 1873 and edited by Mary Mapes Dodge. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings in a sketchy, lively hand, showing boys and girls in everyday scenes, a tree-climbing boy, a pair seated by a stream, and a cartoonish old man with a small girl. A designer might take their loose hatching, expressive faces and caricatured gestures as a model for lively, informal line work.
