FIRST EDITION OF THIS RARE SPORTING WORK INCLUDING FREDERIC REMINGTON'S FIRST PUBLISHED COLOR PRINTS

Prior to publishing these two color plates, Remington produced a series of four monochrome photogravures for John Muir's Picturesque California (1888) and two other individually-published black and white prints (see Peggy and Harold Samuels, Remington: The Complete Prints, NY, 1990, pp.152-3). Sport includes views on angling and fly-fishing, game-bird hunting, and large-game hunting, all after watercolors commissioned for the work. Bennett P48.
