Shooting Picture
 
18 Attachment(s)
I finally opened a Winchester Art Portfolio by A. B. Frost and the plates are stunning. I got this from a Winchester employee that retired after 32 years when they moved the factory overseas. The cover is 19 x 13 inches and the plates are 18-1/2 x 12-1/2 inches. On one side of the portfolio is a pocket for the plates and on the other side you have a short story that goes with each plate.
There's a hunting scene for everyone in the forum. Enjoy..:corn:

Very nice Angel, you are very fortunate to have that set. Those pictures are all in The A.B. Frost Book by Henry M. Reed and some of them are featured in black & white in A. B. Frost, The American Sportsman's Artist by Henry W. Lanier, both of which are in my library. Frost is one of my all-time favorites.

Thanks for the treat!

I'm glad you enjoyed that Dean. I love the work by A.B. Frost. I have other portfolios, some by Remington. You guys are gonna love Remington's Portfolio of American Waterfowl Hunting by Bob Kuhn. Simply Stunning.

Frost - a sportsman's artist
 
Very nice, thanks for sharing the portfolio

Frost is only rivaled by Edmund Osthaus in competetion for wall space around here. I truly like not only his capture of the exact moment in time but also the sense of humor that often appears.

like in his print "HIS NEW HIGH-PRICED DOGS"

(shown as found - it has since been properly re-framed )
