St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 358 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly illustrated magazine for children, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873. The pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with dense hatching: a young man and woman in a field, a sailing ship's deck fight, a boy pulling at a bush, and a seated girl in a round vignette. A designer might take loose, energetic cross-hatching and vignette framing from them.
