St. Nicholas was a popular monthly children’s magazine, published by Scribner’s between 1873 and 1940, with a brief attempt to resuscitate the publication in 1943. The original editor was Mary Mapes Dodge, author of the long-beloved novel, “Hans Brinker”. Authors included Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott, while Norman Rockwell found the magazine a receptive outlet for some of his early illustrative work. Here is a smattering of covers over the years
