Description:

This is an outstanding example of a large, mid-20th century Western Cartridge Company advertising banner, the likes of which would have hung in the windows and on walls of hardware and sporting goods stores throughout the United States through the 20th century. This example bears some beautiful artwork featuring a hunter aiming at an angry grizzly bear. The artwork is unsigned but is similar to that of Weimer Pursell, who was a prominent artist for Western advertising. It appears to be screen printed ink on linen and is single sided. It measures 29 1/4 x 57 3/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, the image and lettering showing vibrant color with very minimal fading, some slight yellowing of the bare linen, and very light wear overall. This outstanding advertising piece would look fantastic hanging in a gun room or office!
