St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 750 pictures

St. Nicholas was a children's illustrated magazine serial published in New York in 1873 by Scribner and edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pictures are soft pencil and wash illustrations of young people in everyday and historical scenes, the first showing a girl reading in a sunlit interior, the others a boy and a girl at a garden fence, and a group resting under a tree, with loose tonal shading a designer could borrow for period-feel line art.
