Fishing and Shooting
Frederic Remington, A.B. Frost, et al., 1889
REMINGTON, Frederic (1861-1909); FROST, Arthur Burdett (1851-1928), et al. – GOULD, A.C., editor. Sport. Or Fishing and Shooting. Boston: Bradlee Whidden, 1889.

First edition of this rare work on sport in late 19th-century America, including Frederic Remington's first two published prints in color. The two plates by Frederic Remington, "Hunting Antelope" (Hassrick & Webster 434) and "Goose Shooting" (Hassrick & Webster 435) are also listed by Peggy and Harold Samuels (Remington: The Complete Prints, New York, 1990, pp.152-153) as the first and second published Remington color prints (they were preceded only by a series of four monochrome photogravures for John Muir's Picturesque California [1888] and two other individually published prints, both black and white). A.B. Frost is now perhaps best known for his sporting pictures and prints, but an aversion to deer-hunting meant that he rarely pictured shooting scenes that featured anything other than small game. His image, "Hunting the Deer," is recorded, and illustrated, in Henry M. Reed's The A.B. Frost Book (Charleston, 1993, pp.101, 104-5) but the author was unaware that it was issued as part of the present work, which is not included in the extensive index of books illustrated by Frost.

The present work includes six angling plates (three of fly-fishing), four plates of game-bird hunting and five of hunting larger game. According to Gould's preface, the plates are all from water-colors especially commissioned for the work and were subjected to the critical scrutiny of a group of anglers and sportsmen, who judged them for technical accuracy. Bennett, p.48

Folio (542 x 388mm). Letterpress title with tinted vignette (few spots to title and preface leaves). Pictorial initials. 15 fine chromolithographic plates after Frederic Remington (2), A.B. Frost, Henry Sandham (4), Frank H. Taylor, Fred. S. Cozzens (2), R.F. Zogbaum (2), S.F. Denton (2) and Edward Knobel. Original red and blue cloth, upper cover gilt (rubbed and a bit faded, some spots to endleaves); modern solander box.Remington, Frederic
