St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 347 pictures

St. Nicholas was an American illustrated magazine for children, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873, serialising stories and verse for young readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink black-and-white scenes of rustic mischief, a boy piping to goats, a girl dragging a fallen companion, and a costumed gentleman with a lady under a tree, showing how wood-engraved magazine illustration handled movement, crowd detail and period dress for a designer studying narrative line drawing.
