St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 394 pictures

St. Nicholas was a children's illustrated magazine serialised in New York by Scribner & Co. from 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pen-and-ink pictures show a girl meeting a small winged figure in a grassy glade, a boy at a doorway with a tiny bearded man, a boy in a garden beside a tomb-like monument, and a fleeing crowd at a door with a bolting dog; a designer might take their loose, quick line work and playful staging.
