St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 926 pictures

St. Nicholas was an American illustrated magazine for children edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner from 1873, with pen-and-ink pictures that run as small vignettes, full-page plates and marginal sketches. The drawings are loose, quick line work with hatching and small figures in costume, showing a designer how a period children's magazine balanced comic action scenes with tidy, framed single figures and decorative tailpieces.
