St. Nicholas [serial]

Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · 1873 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · 357 pictures

St. Nicholas is an American children's illustrated magazine serial edited by Mary Mapes Dodge and published in New York by Scribner & Co. in 1873. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings: a framed woodland scene with children and a tree-lined riverbank, a sailing boat with passengers on open water, a text page with a small scene of a wild child, and a seated figure drinking at a table in a field. A designer might take from them the economical hatching and dense leafy framing typical of 1870s periodical art.
