St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 1,015 pictures

St. Nicholas was an illustrated children's magazine serial published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pictures are loose black-and-white wood-engraved and pen illustrations: a shadowy interior scene with figures in a doorway, a crowded costumed court scene, a boy in a cap reading a Quaker-labelled booklet, and a uniformed officer confronting a line of men beside a dog; a designer might take their dramatic chiaroscuro, lively crowd staging, and simple vignette framing.
