A Break At Dawn


As you'll soon see, I love the old puzzles showing great hunting scenes. There seems to be lots of puzzles with bears in the picture and hunters with rifles. This type of art in advertising is long gone.
Hunting and fishing scenes were very popular and were used for all types of advertising from puzzles, calendars, magazine ads, blotters, and just about anything you can think of.
Two of the most popular artists during the early part of the 20th century were Philip Goodwin (my personal favorite) and Hy Hintermeister.
I'm always looking to add their items to my collection.
