Description:

These Henry Rankin Poore (1859-1940) lithographs were used in a variety of Winchester advertisements depicts a barn setting with white hounds with brown ears and spots in the foreground and two large brown hounds in the background. These dogs were reportedly part of the Winchester family hunting pack leading the print to also be known as "The Winchester Dogs." The lower left corner is signed by the artist "H. R. Poore/Philadelphia" and the bottom of the print has "COPYRIGHT, 1907, BY WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO." The print measures approximately 26 1/2 x 36 inches. The frame is 33 1/2 x 43 inches.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The print is very clear, retains strong coloration overall, a barely noticeable scratch above the right front hound's head, and has a few other small blemishes. The fine attractive period installed frame has old glass with fine antique imperfections and some minor separation at the joints. This would be great for display in a home, gun room, or hunting lodge. Winchester "Bear Dogs" are iconic!
