St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 515 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and issued by Scribner in New York in 1873 for young readers. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings and pen drawings: a seated man with a tankard and a small frog, a crowned figure with children gathered around him, two children with a basket and a doll, and a sideways image of a woman carrying a child. A designer could take the economical hatching and the lively, expressive poses of 19th-century juvenile illustration.
