It would be hard to find the characteristics of 

 animals portrayed more vividly or more sympa- 

 thetically. Mr. Thompson's unconventional pict- 

 ures strikingly reinforce the text, and increase the 

 attractiveness of a very originally made and hand- 

 somely printed volume. 



" He describes them entertainingly, and the interesting stories of his pen are 

 I enhanced by excellent illustrations, full of spirit, and faithful to life." — New York Sun. 



" Mr. Thompson's book sets a new mark in natural history studies. . . . He 

 has Kipling's gift of making you know and sympathize with wild animals."

SHOOTING PICTURES BY A. B. FROST 



A SERIES OF TWELVE FACSIMILE WATER-COLORS 



Mr. Frost has long been known to all enthusiasts as the one artist able to portray 

 hunting scenes with the spirit and feeling of the true sportsman ; his own great love 

 for shooting, and his familiarity with nature as the hunter knows and sees her, shows 

 itself most strongly in every line of his work. 



For many years the artist has been making sketches and studies with the idea of 

 preparing a series of representative SHOOTING PICTURES, which will be recognized 

 as accurate and real in every detail. These twelve water-colors have been reproduced 

 in fac-simile with the utmost care, and the publishers believe they are the most perfect 

 specimens of color reproduction of their kind ever executed. The list of subjects 

 includes the following : 



Summer Woodcock, Fall Woodcock, 



English Snipe, Quail Shooting, 



Ducks from a Blind, Rabbits, 



Ducks from a Battery, Quail — A Dead Stand. 



Each plate is mounted on heavy cardboard, 19 x 26 inches, so that it may be 

 framed at once if desired. 



Mr. Charles D. Lanier, who writes the accompanying text, gives an increased 

 interest to the series of pictures, and writes as only the real student of bird life and 

 the woods can. His pages are illustrated by pen-and-ink drawings by Mr. Frost. 



The work is complete in six parts, each with two plates and 

 accompanying text. Sold only in complete sets by subscription, 

 and on small monthly payments. For terms and prospectus 

 address the publishers.
