St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 365 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly children's magazine serialized in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge, and aimed at young readers. Its pen-and-ink illustrations are loose, lively line drawings of fairy folk in woods, a cottage scene, a Christmas gathering, and costumed figures, showing how fine crosshatching and sketchy outlines can suggest storytelling without heavy shading.
