St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 435 pictures

St. Nicholas was an American illustrated children's magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873, aimed at young readers. Its pen-and-ink pictures range from period costume scenes of elegant couples and a boy with toys to a tender mother-and-child study and a crowded group of laughing children, offering a designer loose, sketchy line work with strong figure gesture and clear use of negative space in the paper ground.
