St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 333 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873. The pictures are loose pen-and-ink wash illustrations with sketchy hatching and open white space, showing a seated child with a dog, a column of soldiers with a figure carrying faggots, a horse and rider, and two small figures fencing with a sword. A designer might take from them the light, quick line and the storybook charm of late nineteenth-century magazine illustration.
