Randy, Nice pictures! Got me to thinking I had seen that portrait before so I opened my copy of Ed Muderlak’s “Parker Guns, Shooting Flying and the American Experience” and on pg. 291 is that very picture along with vignettes of six other famous trap shooters of the late 1890’s originally published in “Twenty Years of Trap Shooting in Missouri” which I owned until about 5 years ago when I sold it to a member here.
