St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 312 pictures

St. Nicholas was a children's magazine serialised in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873, edited by Mary Mapes Dodge for young readers. Its pen-and-ink illustrations show boys and girls in outdoor scenes: a boy seated on rocks above water, children wading a pond, a picnic table under trees, and a group of boys tumbling around a bearded man with a stick. Designers can draw on their loose, lively linework, quick hatching for shadow, and open pale paper ground.
