- Lot Description
Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928)
Returning Home, 1903
signed in pencil "A. B. Frost" lower left
watercolor, 12 1/2 by 8 1/2 in.
Also titled "End of the Day's Shooting," this work appeared in color in a 1903 portfolio of Frost's work published by Scribner's which also included "Good Luck," "Bad Luck," "Gun Shy," and "Ordered Off." Scribner's also published the images in the October 1903 issue of the magazine.
Reed writes, "In 1903, Scribner's produced another set of A. B. Frost shooting pictures, entitled "The Day's Shooting." This portfolio consists of six chromolithographs, attractively packaged in a colorful flat box, imprinted with the title and a scene of the hunter and his dog starting out eagerly for 'The Day's Shooting.' On the bottom of the box the hunter and his dog are shown again, trudging homeward after a hard day's hunt...In "The Day's Shooting" portfolio, Frost displayed his sense of humor and his "human" qualities as an artist. The situations are familiar to all hunters. Success and failure received equal billing. Over the years I have seen three of the six prints in their original watercolor state..."
