St. Nicholas
St. Nicholas is a children's magazine edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873, aimed at young readers. Its pictures are loose black-and-white pen or wood-engraved sketches of everyday scenes, including a standing figure in a doorway, a boy's comic tale with a scene from Plot Jack and Timber, a crowd watching a snake charmer, and a wartime march from Gettysburg; a designer might borrow their quick, economical linework and lively crowd compositions.
