This massive tin lithographed sign is a work by Arthur W. Woelfle (1873-1936), whose signature is in the bottom right corner. The piece portrays the inside of a hunting cabin after a successful hunt. At the bottom center of the piece is an open whiskey bottle with detailed labeling for the Paul Jones & Co. "Four Roses" whiskey. Also on the table near the whiskey are some playing cards, a pipe, some cartridges and shotgun shells, a pair of boots, and a whitetail buck's head. A coat and hat hang on the wall along with a red fox, various upland game birds, and some ducks including a mallard. Leaning against the wall is a side by side shotgun that may be an L.C. Smith, and a Winchester semi-deluxe Model 1894 rifle is hanging on the wall at the top of the sign. The visible portion of the sign measures approximately 45 x 30 7/8 inches. It is mounted in the original large picture box frame with a black outer layer and ornate gold painted molded interior. The frame as a whole measures approximately 57 1/8 x 43 1/4 inches. These pre-probation era advertising lithographs were produced in very limited numbers, and are rarely offered on the collector market.

Exceptionally fine, the tin lithograph itself showing vibrant colors and very minimal fading or handling evidence. The frame is fine with some mild wear, handling/storage evidence, and a few scattered minor cracks in the molding, along with a small missing portion along the top and sides. A very attractive piece that would fit perfectly in your gun room, bar, office or study!
