Default A.B. Frost Shooting Pictures

I wanted one of these years ago but frankly kind of forgot about it; thanks to Bob Lyons for reminding me! I found a set on ebay and was about to make an offer when I decided to check ABE Books, and came across this one - excellent condition, complete, and way less money! These are the 1972 Winchester re-issue of the original and while not an exact replica I believe it contains all the original text and (I think) copies of the original ink drawings which are included within the text in this offering. It has all 12 of the original prints. Can't imagine what an original set would bring, if they're even out there! Just a really cool item, I think anyway...







Here's a brief description of the original:

Nice find.

Great set of prints. I found one at Abe books a few years ago.
