Originally released in 1908, the advertising print has a visible area approximately 32 3/4 inches wide and 25 inches tall, with a green border painted in a wood grain pattern surrounding a scene of two African-American men and a dog caught off guard when an animal flushed out of a downed tree trunk turns out to be a skunk. The border is marked "WINCHESTER LOADED SHOTGUN CARTRIDGES" at the top, red "W" trademarks on the sides, and the text "SHOOT THEM AND AVOID TROUBLE" along the bottom. The vague phrasing of "them" reportedly created confusion and concern, resulting in many of these prints being recalled and reissued with the border removed, and in the end the majority would be discarded or recycled. The print is professionally matted and mounted in a modern hardwood frame which measures approximately 36 1/2 inches by 44 1/2 inches. Provenance: The Gateway Collection

Exceptionally fine, retains a distinct image and vibrant color with very minimal fading and some light wear around the edges. The matting showing only the slightest fading or wear. The frame is excellent with a few scattered light handling/storage marks. A fantastic Winchester advertising piece to enhance your gun room display!
