Some SF Denton fish prints framed - these are not repros, they're original chromolithographs from the late 1800's. Yeah, you can find them cheaper on Fleabay without the mat and frame but rarely in this condition.

They're also French matted which really sets them off - an example is below but the marbelized liner is not as broad on the mat as it looks in the illustration - it's just 1/8" around the print.

I collect them, we have them in our living room, dining room and kitchen too -

These are framed in walnut burl, example below - finished size is 12x16"

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
