St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 751 pictures

St. Nicholas is a children's periodical serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner & Co. from 1873, aimed at young readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink and wash illustrations with decorative borders, showing a seated woman in a bonnet beside a garden arch, a fanciful scene of a figure riding a dragon-like creature, a tree branch over a village, and a young woman holding a book; a designer might take their ornamental framing, fine line work and soft tonal shading.
