Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
 

Soon anyway.

And she knows if you've been naughty or nice :hihi:

Still going thru stuff, went into the print locker for the old Angler's Art, got a bunch of stuff to clear out at pretty steep discounts from what it was when I was doing the antique fishing and natural history prints and framing.

I've got a lot of framed Dentons from the 1890's in exceptional condition - most were taken directly from the NY Fisheries Game & Forest Commission books and hadn't seen the light of day in decades. Believe me, you won't find many if any in this condition, I know, I collect them and we have them hanging in our home.

I'm going to price them at $125 to clear them out - I originally sold them for $225 plus tax so that's over $100 off original pricing - it's a shame to just have them in a closet gathering dust. The framed ones are also French matted - they look great in a den, living or dining room or kitchen. Mrs Claus would actually like them herself.

If you're not familiar with Denton, google it - the colors are unbelievably accurate considering they were printed over 100 years ago.

Also have a number of Dentons matted only which run from $50 to $90 depending on species (desirability and scarcity). Sorry, no bass or bluefish, I have a few but they're my personal stuff.

Framed I have:

- Weakfish - 1 3/4" blonde walnut burl

- Tautog - 1 3/4" blonde walnut burl

- Butterfish - gold ribbed

- Bonito - 3/4" dark walnut burl

- Atlantic Salmon - 1 3/4" blonde walnut burl

Matted Only:

- Small Mouth Bass - $90

- Lake trout - $60

- Hickory Shad - $60

- Sunfish - $50

- Butterfish - $50

More to come, but that's it for now - tell Mrs Claus you found a deal if you've been good this year.

If you've been naughty, the hell with it, buy your own damned presents like I do :hihi:

Any pictures of the shad??

Chef - I thought I had the Hickory Shad digitized but I don't - I do have this Shad tho and it's pretty similar -

The print is in great shape if you're interested - I never sold any beaters -

What does the bonito look like and what are the dimensions of the print?

Finished frame sizing is approx. 12x18" - the print is 8 1/2 x 11" and is French matted.

This is an ultra-clean original from the NY Fisheries, Game and Forest Commission Report - they were hard-cover volumes with these chromolithographs tipped (glued) into the spine - I've forgotten which year volume the bonito was in, but the print is over 100 years old and in perfect condition.

This is the Denton bonito:
