Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Soon anyway.

And she knows if you've been naughty or nice

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

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:
