The Shooting Pictures
A.B. Frost, 1895
FROST, Arthur Burdett (1851-1928). The Shooting Pictures. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, [1895]. (Cover title.)

Complete first edition in original parts and portfolio. "One of the most famous series of American sport pictures, all being hunting scenes" (Bennett). It is also the most important work of A.B. Frost, who was the outstanding sporting artist of the Golden Age of American illustration. "A.B. Frost’s paintings captured all the tenseness & humor of sporting situations while retaining the natural characteristics of the hunter & the hunted. Because of the artist’s familiarity with human nature, his love for the sport and the creatures of the field, the storytelling quality of his work has never quite been equaled" (Robbins, "Arthur Burdett Frost–The Sportsman’s Artist," in Sporting Classics Daily, 17 January 2022). Bennett, p.40; Bobins 777.

Six parts, broadsheet folio (659 x 482mm).
