Description:

These Winchester advertisements were an excellent eye-catching piece in the early 20th century that were perfect for pulling potential customers into shops to buy Winchester firearms and ammunition. Used in a number of Winchester advertisements, the print 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". A printed wood grain border surrounds the art, with red Winchester "W" logos in each corner, 3 shot shells on each side, "WINCHESTER" in gold paint at the top and "RIFLES, SHOTGUNS", "FOR SALE HERE" and "and AMMUNITION" at the bottom. The walnut frame measures approximately 50 inches wide and 40 1/2 inches tall, with the observable area of the print measuring approximately 41 1/2 inches wide and 32 inches tall.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The print shows strong color and detail, with some horizontal creasing visible at the center and some crazing along the edges. The professionally made Winchester style custom frame is excellent. These Winchester advertising prints are highly desirable and make an excellent display piece to enhance your collection or as a statement piece in your office!
