In 1872, Dr. Josiah Gilbert Holland approached The Century publishing house with his idea for "a magazine for children, a magazine of lively, well-written stories, poetry, and articles, a magazine with the same high standards as the monthly which they published for adults." The publishers agreed, and writer Mary Mapes Dodge (1831-1905) was chosen as editor. By the time she was handpicked to head the new children's magazine, she had already written many children's stories, including the one which would become a classic, the novel "Hans Brinker,” or "The Silver Skates.” Dodge knew immediately that she wanted the magazine to be a "child's playground; where children could be delighted as well as be in charge." What St. Nicholas would not be was didactic. Rhead’s "Bless the Beasts and the Children” artwork goes hand-in-hand with the thoughtful whimsy the magazine intended to promote.
