Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
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..

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.
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 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 )
the sportsmen
and the detail that bring the humor into it
