Description:

These Winchester advertisements were an excellent eye-catching piece around the turn of the 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". The custom made wood frame imitates a "wood frame" that is often seen as part of the print. The wood of the frame is finished black and has red Winchester "W" logo decals in each corner, 3 shot shell decals on each side, "WINCHESTER" in white paint at the top and "RIFLES, SHOTGUNS", "FOR SALE HERE" and "and AMMUNITION" at the bottom. It measures approximately 31 7/8 x 41 1/8 inches including the frame.

Rating Definition:

Very good, the print itself shows a distinct image and attractive color with a few scattered minor smudges and creases. The attractive custom made frame is very fine with some artificial weathering and light wear. A very attractive decor piece for your gun room or office!
