St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 383 pictures

St. Nicholas was a children's illustrated monthly serial published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings with loose hatched lines: field workers cutting cane beside a mill, a stooped man at a garden gate, a boy kissing a girl's hand in a doorway, and a crowd of hooded figures around a kneeling boy in a stone courtyard. A designer could borrow the crosshatched linework and the period costume detail for historical or storybook projects.
