This is an original cover from the famous old (and out of production) sporting magazine, "The Field", from 1923. It features a painting of a fox hound in an open landscape, courtesy of Arthur Ackerman, a London fine art gallery that still exists today. There are so many reproduction vintage magazine covers, but the originals, such as this one, are quite rare. It is housed in an antique mahogany frame that measures 18.75 X 14.75.

A very nice old hand-tinted engraving entitled "The Portraiture of Bay Bolton" with an extensive description and biography. The entire size of the framed piece is 9.75 X 13 inches. It is in its original frame which has quite a few bumps and chips to the gilding, which is expected. The print itself is in good condition with only some age toning and light soiling and foxing. An attractive piece for a racing history enthusiast. Original price was $285.

This is a very interesting old engraving, copperplate I believe, telling the story of a Scottish deerhound that was shot on a hunting outing. The main image is rather sad. It shows the hound, lying at the feet of its family who is obviously very upset. Around the perimeter are a series of drawn vignettes, telling the background story leading up to the death of the dog. Here's what I surmise happened: the deerhound and his kilted master set out in the mountains, hunting deer. Unfortunat ...click for details
