These six prints are from a rare 19th century portfolio originally consisting of fifteen chromolithographic plates of fishing, bird hunting, and large game hunting. Included were Frederic Remington's first two published prints in color, a rare A.B. Frost image of deer hunting, and nature scenes by other top illustrators of the time. The plates are based on paintings commissioned for the portfolio, which were reviewed by a group of anglers and sportsmen for accuracy.
