St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 364 pictures

St. Nicholas was a monthly magazine for children, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner in 1873. Its pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings and crayon-style sketches of children at play, shopping, and in genre scenes, with a small framed vignette of a fairy-like figure offering a sprig to children. A designer could draw on their clear line work, lively small-scale staging of figures, and decorative border framing.
