Dan Beard Gives Some Good Advice

1925

About the Item

Signature: Signed Lower Right Original advertisement for Cream of Wheat, published 1925. The image features Dan Beard sitting at a campfire talking to Boy Scouts. The full caption reads: “Dan Beard gives some good advice to men” The advertisement features Dan Beard, who it hails as a “prophet and sage to a million Boy Scouts.” It features a wise quote from Beard himself: “Watch two things about your mouth - the words that come out of it; the food that goes into it.” The ad promotes “wise eating,” stressing the importance of a healthy diet for active boys and men. It highlights breakfast as a crucial meal and champions Cream of Wheat as the ideal energizing and nourishing start to the day. Dan Beard was the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone, which merged with the Boy Scouts of America when the latter was founded in 1910. A true pioneer, he was a prolific writer and artist whose passion for the outdoors began during his childhood in Ohio. From the archives of Nabisco, and Kraft Foods, catalogue #344; also stamped #190.

"Meditation" Dutch Woman Sewing Interior Genre Home scene Fruit Flowers on Table
By Bernard De Hoog
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Bernard de Hoog was born in Amsterdam in 1866. He studied under J.F. Hulk and J.C. van Essen at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam. Mainly a genre and portrait painter, he occupies a distinguished place among the masters of Dutch modernism. He was associated with The Hague School, primarily a movement of realism, a reaction against Romanticism. He lived and worked in Laren, Haarlem, Bussum, and The Hague enjoying much commercial success. His paintings were readily exported to the United State, Canada, and England. De Hoog advocated the simple country life and produced many endearing interior scenes inspired by compassion for the impoverished existence of the Dutch peasantry. Set within a quiet domestic interior space, our painting catches a meditative moment of a woman in the midst of her sewing. A large window illuminates this intimate interior. de Hoog’s delicate brushwork captures the sunlight reflected in the woman’s red dress...
