St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 944 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly illustrated magazine for children, published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873 and edited by Mary Mapes Dodge. The four pictures are black-and-white illustrations in varied styles: a dim crowd scene with a man in a wide-brimmed hat, a painted woodland scene of two children, a pencil-sketched woman pointing beside a small child, and a line drawing of sailors firing a gun amid smoke. A designer might take the loose, expressive hatching and the strong dark-and-light contrast of the shadowed scenes, along with the dynamic diagonal of the pointing arm and the gun-smoke swirl.
