St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 373 pictures

St. Nicholas was a children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published by Scribner in New York from 1873, with illustrations and verse aimed at young readers. The four pictures range from a girl at a dollhouse-like table and a candle-lit staircase scene with a father and daughters to a woman and child under trees and a bearded old man in heavy black-and-white woodcut style, showing how period illustrators handled gesture, costume and the contrast of solid blacks against open white paper.
