St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 345 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly illustrated magazine for children edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873. Its pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with hatching and loose wash, showing a bearded sailor-like figure at a gun, a whimsical garden scene with a giant mushroom and a figure in a tree, a witch-like flying figure, and an interior with a figure at a table. A designer could take loose sketchy linework and playful fantasy staging from them.
