The Sportsman's Reverie. 



A SERIES OF PICTURES FOR SPORTSMEN. 



J> EADERS of the Forest and Stream cannot fail to recollect Mr. Thomas F. Watson's 

 poem entitled, "The Sportsman's Reverie," printed in this journal about two years ago. 

 Later on a few stanzas were added to cover other scenes of typical American sport with the 

 gun. The author depicted vividly the varied visions which come before the view of the vete- 

 ran sportsman as he sits in easy chair before the fire. Of the author and his poem the Detroit 

 Free Press said in an appreciative notice: "The author is evidently a man of the most 

 acute sportsmanly enthusiasm, as well as of nice literary taste. His poem is built upon a 

 very simple plan. Before a cheerful fire— like Ike Marvel's hero— sits a veteran of rod and 

 ffun; be grows balf drowsy over pipe and fire and the poet has caught— with a nice and 

 sensitive appreciation— the remind cences of a hundred hunts which flit through bis brain. 

 One experience after another is described wilb graceful pen touches; the quail, the wood- 

 cock, the snipe, the deer, fall before the crack of the gun; a long day's sport — a glorious 

 day such as no man ever compassed between sun and sun — is described, even the trout, 

 from the clear rapid, paying tiibnte to the prowess of a dreamland sportsman, uutil at last, 

 with the fall of the quiet night shadows, the sportsman draws his boat to the shore, his 

 tired retriever crouches at his feet, and, with his ducks, the final trophies of his sport, at his 

 side, he looks back over the darkening water; and then, once again at his fireside, the end 

 of the vision comes naturally and gracefully." 



And now these "word pictures" of the poet have been complemented with the actual 

 canvas pictures of the painter. Artist-poet and poet-artist have united to give us the poem 

 in a magnificent setting. Mr. Robert Hopkin, the celebrated artist of Detroit, has painted 

 a series of twelve pictures, each telling in color what the poem tells in words. From these 

 paintings have been made superb heliotype engravings, each having beneath it the particu- 

 lar verse of the poem illustrated. The series is remarkable for strict adherence to nature, 

 fidelity in portraying action, and artistic merit. 



THE TWELVE PICTURES: 



No. 1 shows the hunter seated in an easy 

 attitude in an arm chair, gazing reflectively 

 into the fire on the heartn. Above the fire- 

 place are the head and antlers of a deer. The 

 sportsman's right arm. is around the neck of 

 his dog, which is resting on his haunches be- 

 side the chair. His left hand holds his pipe. 

 The firelight flickers on the floor and around 

 the legs of the chair. 



No. 2 represents dawn breaking over a 

 small lake. The night shades are fleeing. A 

 mist is rising from the eastern end of the 

 lake, of which trees fringe the edge. A plover 

 is circling in the air, and in the foreground is 

 a mallard lazily flying out over the glassy 

 water. 



No. 8 represents snipe shooting. In the fore- 

 ground is the sportsman, his body twisted 

 around to the left in the attitude of making a 

 aonble on snipe. Standing beside him is the 

 setter, waiting for the word to retrieve. To 

 his right is the border of a wood, the branches 

 bending to the strong wind. In the distance 

 are the sails of craft on the lake. 



No. 4— woodcock shooting— shows an open- 

 ing in the eopse around whose border a brook 

 is winding. In the foreground, standing 

 deep in tue ferns and rank vegetation, is a 

 setter on a point. Behind the dog is the 

 sportsman in the attitude of shooting at a 

 bud flying directly over him. 



No. 5 shows a quail hunter in the foreground, 

 walking along ieaoy for the shot, which will 

 follow the rise of the birds, on which the dog 

 is drawing to a point. A haze is ovtr all, and 

 the sky is that of a day in Indian summer. 



No. 6 depicts grouse or partridge shooting 

 in the beech woods. The nunter is walki. g 

 down a siope. The dog has come to a point 

 ahead of him. The bird has flushed and the 

 hunter is shown aiming. The pointer has 

 stiffened into an attitude of strained atten- 



tion, as he watches the bird fly away. The 

 ui per part of the sportsman's body is in the 

 shadow, the lower part in the strong light of 

 the sun ravs. 



No. 7 shows an angler reeling in a trout. A 

 brook is tumbling down through the woods 

 and over the rocks into the pool. The sky is 

 cloudy and the sunlight is struggling througn. 



No. 8— deer shooting— is a forest scene. In 

 the foreground a buck, just shot, is falling on 

 the edge of a lake. Tearing down the slope 

 behind him are two hounds. To the left, be- 

 hind the roots of an upturned tree, are seen 

 the head and shoulders of the hunter, whose 

 rifle is still bearing on the deer. 



No. 9 represents shooting over decoys. A 

 gale is blowing and the water of the channel 

 outside is lashed into whitecaps. In the bay 

 the decoys are tossing in the chopping waves. 

 In the foreground is a point of rushes, in 

 which the skiff of the hunter is partially con- 

 cealed. The flock of ducks, which has just 

 swung in outside the decoys, is broken by the 

 discharge of the first barrel. ( Ine section is 

 wheeling out over the river. The other has 

 broken off to the side and is wheeling out 

 again to meet the first section. Some scat- 

 tered birds are dashing above tne head of tho 

 hunter, and he is twicted around in his sk ff 

 aiming at a bird flying above and behind 

 him. 



No. 10 shows flight duck shooting. The scene 

 is a marsh, on whose broken surface tue sun 

 is setting behind the clouds. In the fore- 

 ground, on a grassy point, are the hunter and 

 his spaniel. The nunter is in a kneeling atti- 

 tude and in the act of firing his first barrel. 

 The spaniel is plunging into the water to re- 

 trieve the biru which has fallen to ihe first 

 barrel. In the distance are flying ducks. 



Nos. 11 and 12 represent the hunter retiring 

 from the marsh and at home, and these two 

 are among the strongest of the set. 



The pictures are printed on the best 1501b. plate paper; size of paper 24x30in. ; size of 

 print I4ixl^in- The pictures have the tint and tint border, and the artist's remarque and 

 signature, and form artist's proofs, an edition de luxe.
