Default OK; one of the weirdest requests ever...

I would like to have a Parker poster here in the old Museum of the Totally Unrelated, Mostly Forgotten and Largely Useless, but I frankly don't have the room. In the past I've had good luck with downloading images from the web and printing them off photo-size - maybe 8x10 or so or even smaller in some cases - a mini-poster if you will. Thing is, I haven't found an image of anything like the Tarnation poster or other that I can do this with. So...if anyone would be willing to post a decent photo here that I can save and print that would be, well, just super. Maybe we could keep the copyright laws, etc. under our hats. I'd want it to be something that says Parker, not just the image. If this is a crazy idea just forget you read this and move on...

Phil,

PM me. I can hook you up with a small printing of the Parker Squirrel poster.

If you want.

What’s up with the “Don’t Use Your Parker on Wood Ducks” and “Be Ready for Game that May be Legally Taken”? Were wood ducks not legal game back in the day?

I was just reading about this poster/calendar in The Parker Story and yes, wood ducks weren’t legal at the time and Parker was a big proponent of conservation laws.

Wood Ducks were endangered back then.

I don’t remember the exact years but yes, wood ducke were protected sometime in the twenties and/or thirties.
I’m reading Sheldon’s “Tranquility Revisited” published in 1940 and he makes reference to the fact several times in the book.

Mills, did you score that great calendar or is that an auction house image?

No I didn't. I would say "I wish" but not at the price it went for
