More William Harnden Foster

On a recent trip I found a stash of old sporting magazines and was able to pick through and purchase some more Foster cover art. I thought some of you fans of his might be interested. I really like the way he stylizes his characters, especially the archetypal New Englanders.
You'll note in the last two images his recurring use of motifs -- the 1930s cover art followed by a study for his now famous book. Enjoy! |
The last scene I have as a print from Wild River Press. I need to get it framed.

Mills, do you have the book and booklet it was reprinted and reissued for?

I bought the limited edition so I do have the book and booklet.
Wild River Press is first class |
Image #4: I built many a feed shock back in the day and hunted around them in the fall. No one shocks feed any more.

And spread some cracked corn in them. The pheasants used them as feed stations. . |

A few more to mull over...(the last two images help to introduce the "new" Super Fox).

February 1924, another Parker cover to add to our collections. Good luck finding one.

I think around ‘53 - ‘59 or so. Whan I was about 6 or 7 I remember looking out of my second floor bedroom window one early morning after a fresh overnight snowfall and seeing pheasant tracks all around a couple of the shocks but there were no pheasants in view. I quickly dressed in my outdoor clothes and mittens and went out and snuk up on the back side of a shock. I got down on my hands and knees ans quietly snuk around and stuck my head and shoulders inside… There was an explosion of 3 or 4 pheasants all trying to make their escape and one hen got inside of my jacket for a couple of seconds! What a great experience that was! . |

If it hadn't been for feed shocking and pitching alfalfa and prairie hay bales I'da never had a dime growing up. Nowadays all the farmers out here bail their feed and their hay in those big round bails that takes a lift to move 'em. I don't know how kids make their spending money these days - probably trading cryptocurrency or something :).
