St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 349 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. Its pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings of outdoor scenes and children at play, with loose hatched shading and open white ground. A designer might take from them the economical, sketchy line work typical of nineteenth-century children's periodicals, with figures set into landscape and boating or hiking settings.
