"A.B. (Arthur Burdett) Frost (American, 1851-1928), pair of original chromolithographs entitled, ""Quail Shooting"" and ""Duck Shooting from a Blind"" from A.B. Frost's portfolio ""Shooting Pictures"", published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1895 to 1896. A.B. Frost is among the most admired American sporting artists who rose to fame at the close of the 19th century. A sports enthusiast himself, Frost depicted a wide range of subjects including hunting, archery, fishing, and golf. Here we have two compositions that demonstrate Frost's penchant for capturing not only the activity of hunting but also the pastoral natural setting and mood. His details are so convincing and specific, of the type that could only be captured if equipped with an intimate knowledge of hunting and landscape. Size: each measures 19.25"" W x 12.5"" H (48.9 cm x 31.8 cm); 34.625"" W x 27.875"" H (87.9 cm x 70.8 cm) including framing
Condition: Minor toning. Minute stain to upper right corner of ""Duck Shooting..."" The pair are in handsome, matching mats and frames.
