St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 853 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly magazine for children, published in New York by Scribner & Co. from 1873 and edited by Mary Mapes Dodge, and these pictures range from a pen-and-ink scene of children under a tree to a small group of young people with a book. The pictures show gentle, legible line work and soft tonal shading suited to editorial spot illustrations, with a parasol vignette and a crowded group portrait that a designer could borrow for period-style layouts or youthful themes.
