St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 383 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 are loose, sketchy vignettes of children and everyday scenes, with a designer able to borrow their quick, expressive line work and the way figures are placed against open, lightly shaded ground.
