St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 359 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American illustrated children's magazine serialized in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pictures are lively pen-and-ink scenes of boys and girls, a figure in a tall bonnet, and street or circus crowds, showing how period illustrators built narrative action, clothing detail and expressive gesture with fine crosshatched line that a designer could borrow for storybook or vintage editorial work.
