Description

Today I can offer for sale a magnificent, ORIGINAL circa 1917 set of FULL COLOR, I.E. DuPont De Nemours & Co. waterfowl prints.

It would appear that all of the artwork was rendered by the same artist, "Lynn Bogue Hunt". Each print carries the Dupont logo, along with the copyright date of 1917. Each print (including the borders), measures 14 1/2 inches tall x 13 inches wide, with the actual image size being 11" x 10". These are ORIGINAL, nearly 100 year old color prints, which have a bit of foxing and patina from age, but remain in overall very good condition. None of them appear to have ever been framed or mounted, and have no doubt resided in this cardboard folder forever. On the reverse of each print are details pertaining to each bird presented, including their habitats, as well as Dupont nomenclature relating to shotgun powder loads. If you appreciate antique / vintage sporting / hunting / waterfowl art, these 16 full color, vintage Dupont prints will look simply beautiful once professionally framed and matted. The B.I.N price is for all 16 prints in their old cardboard folder. Don't miss this offering, as these century old prints most certainly do NOT show up very often, especially in their original, utterly un-molested state.
