Very nice. Where did you find the dealer and manufacturer prints?

I found the 1903 Dupont in a shop in Maine. ..several years ago..The SSFox and Federal were found at other shops..These are some of about 60 that I have collected over the years.

Fabulous prints Jerry. I am envious. My very small collection is growing though.
A neighbor here in Andover has a WHF print of an English pointer. If it was of a setter I would pester him until he cried "uncle" and sold it to me.

Very nice collection, Jerry! I love seeing sporting art on display year-round in our house. It helps carry me from one season to the next!

I'm not breed specific as I favor a GSP in the field but they are seldom encountered in artwork.

Dean what's a WHF print? An English Pointer is a stylish dog. Do you have a picture of that print?

My wall space is at a premium as well so I bought another house in the U.P. and it's at a premium there also
