About the Item

ARTHUR BURDETT FROST SHOOTING PICTURES Charles Scribner's Sons Chromolithographs in color 13” x 20” Unframed New York, 1895 VISIT MY STOREFRONT BY CLICKING ON Danielle Ann Millican, Inc. IN DEALER DETAILS A.B. Frost, as he was to become known professionally, was born in Philadelphia in 1851. His early years were spent as a student with Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He was to go on as the primary illustrator of more than one hundred published books. Among the notable authors whose works he illustrated were Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens, Joel Chandler Harris, Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt, William Thackeray and others. For nearly fifty continuous years his illustrations appeared in the leading magazines, including Harper's, Scribner's, Collier's, Century, Puck and Life. His own books--Stuff & Nonsense, The Bull Calf and Other Tales, and Carlo--were recognized as masterpieces of comedy. As a painter in oil, Frost exhibited in both the United States and abroad. The unforgettable Brer Rabbit from Uncle Remus remains one of his more endearing images. However, it is the Shooting Pictures, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1895, that would be recognized as his most notable work. "The Shooting Pictures portfolio is a set of twelve lithographs of various hunting scenes. These prints are the most eagerly sought Frost collector's items and are very difficult to find. Fortunate indeed, is the collector-sportsman whose walls are adorned by these colorful and exciting portrayals of his favorite pastime, where Frost has captured the tense instant when the quail is about to flush under the cold moist nose of the quivering pointer, or when the ducks are suspiciously circling, getting ready to stool over the decoys of the nervous hunter whose heart is pounding as he crouches low in his blind." (Henry M. Reed, 1967.) Thereafter, Frost was firmly established as our premier sporting artist. Frost and his family lived in Convent Station, NJ, at "Moneysunk" from 1890-1906. It is during this period that Scribner's published his Shooting Pictures in 1895 and another set of six shooting pictures entitled The Day's Shooting in 1903. Frost was at the zenith of his career. In 1989, Sotheby's cataloged what was called the most valuable collection of art ever to come to auction. It was the collection of the late John T. Dorrance, Jr., former Chairman of the Campbell Soup Company and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Included among important old masters, impressionists, European ceramics and Chinese import porcelain were original watercolors of various sporting scenes by A.B. Frost. The bidding was brisk and spirited. In just over ten minutes, twelve Frosts had sold for an aggregate total of $551,457. It was a landmark sale. Scribner's issued the Shooting Pictures in a limited edition of 2500 chromolithograph sets in 1895. They represent absolutely the finest value and quality available in works by A. B. Frost.
