St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 1,056 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, aimed at young readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink and wood-engraved scenes: a standing figure in a long coat, a crowd of children in a sunlit meadow, sketched boys with a dog, and an old man in a cap pointing while boys listen beside a large decorative initial letter. A designer could draw on the lively line work, the large ornamental initials, and the loose, storytelling group compositions.
