St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 508 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873. Its pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings of everyday scenes with children, rendered in fine crosshatched line with generous sky and foliage. A designer might take from them the economical hatched shading and the lively, unposed gestures of mid-nineteenth-century juvenile illustration.
