St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 400 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873, aimed at young readers. Its pen-and-ink illustrations show fashionable girls walking in fields, a fairy-tale scene with a cloaked woman and a seated figure by a fireplace, and a lively pursuit scene; a designer could draw on their loose sketchy line and open white space for quick, informal storytelling.
