Desirable Framed Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Henry R. Poore "Bear Dogs" Advertising Print

Winchester is one of a handful of firearms manufacturing firms that were known for their attention-grabbing advertisements through the 19th century and into the early 20th century. This print was used in a variety of Winchester advertisements and depicts a barn setting with white "bear dogs" in the foreground and two large brown dogs that may be bloodhounds in the background. These dogs were reportedly part of the Winchester family hunting pack. The lower left corner is signed by the artist "H. R. Poore/Philadelphia". It is fitted in a custom, vintage hardwood frame which measures 32 1/8 x 41 5/8 inches overall. The frame and print appear to have been mated for some time.

ConditionVery good, the print itself showing the attractive mellow original color and a very distinct image with minimal fading, a few minor creases/cracks, some discreet former mounting holes in each corner, and a slight warp/wave. The frame is fine with some mild handling/storage wear and the backing partially detached. These prints make an excellent display piece for an office or gun room!
