A NOTABLE ART ENTERPRISE! 



The Sportsman's Reverie. 



A SERIES OF PICTURES FOR SPORTSMEN. 



J^EADERS of tbe Forest and Stream cannot fail to recollect Mr. Thomas P. Watson's 

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

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

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

 ran sportsman as he Bits 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 

 e-un; he grows half drowsy over pipe and fire and the poet has caught— with a nice and 

 sensitive appreciation— the reminiscences of a hundred hunts which flit through his brain. 

 One experience after another is described with 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 "lorious 

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

 from the clear rapid, paying tiibute to the prowess of a dreamland sportsman, until 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 spoil, 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 haviug 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 tire on the heart n. Above the tire- 

 place are the head and antlers of a deer. The 

 spoitsn'an's light arm is around the uec : of 

 his dog, which is resting on bis haunches be- 

 side the thair. Hii left band holds his pipe. 

 The fhelight flickers on the floor and around 

 tne legs of the cnair. 



No. 2 represents dawn breaking over a 

 small lake. Toe nigbt sbades are fleeing. A 

 mist is rising from the eastern end ot the 

 la<e, of wbi h trees fiinge the ed^e A plover 

 is eiroling in the air. and in the foreground is 

 a mallard lazily flying out over the glassy 

 water. 



No. 3 represents snipe shooting. In the fore- 

 ground is the sportsman, his bo< y twisted 

 around to the lett in tbe attitude of making a 

 oo ble on snipe. Standing beside hi m is the 

 setter, waiting for the word to retrieve To 

 his right is the border of a *v ood, the orancoes 

 bending to the s-trong wind. In the distance 

 are ti.e sails of craft on the lake. 



No. 4 -woodcock shooting- shows an open- 

 ing in i he eopse around whose i>oi der a brook 

 is winding. In toe foieground, standing 

 oeep in t. e ferns and tank vegetation, is a 

 setter on a point. Behind the do^ is the 

 sportsman in the att tude r>£ snooting at a 

 b.id flying directly over him. 



No. 5 snows a quail hunter in th«* foreground, 

 walK.un along lea y for the shot, which will 

 fodow the rise of the oirds, on wbica the oog 

 is drawing to a noin^. A haze s ov. r al , and 

 the sky is that ot adi, in Indian summer. 



No. 6 depict 5 ! giou>e or partridge shooting 

 in the beeen 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, ine pointer has 

 stiffened mi.o an attitude of strained atten- 



tion, as he watches the bird fly away. The 

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

 shaaow, the lower pait in the strong light of 

 the sun j a v s. 



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

 brook is tumbling down through the woods 

 ai^d over the rocks into the pi ol. The sky is 

 cloi ay and tne sunlignt is struggling through. 



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

 the foregroui d a ouck, just shot, is falling on 

 the edge of a lake, i earing dr>wn tbe slope 

 behind him aro two hou ids. To trie left, be- 

 hind i he roots of an upturned nee, are seen 

 the head and shoulders of the hunter, whose 

 rifle is still bearing ou the de«r. 



No. 9 repre-ents shoot - ' ng over decoys. A 

 gale is blowiOtt and the water of the channel 

 outside is lashed into whitecaps. In the bay 

 the d- coys are tossing in the chopping waves. 

 In the foreground is a point ot rushes, in 

 which the skiff o> thvr hunter is partially con- 

 cea ed. Ihe flock of ducks, which has just 

 swung in out-ide the dei-oys, is br -ken by the 

 discharge of tne Inst barrel. One sectiou is 

 wheeling out over the rivei*. The other has 

 broken off to the siJe and is wheeling out 

 a.ain to meet the drst section. Some scat- 

 tered birds are dashh.g above tne head ot tho 

 hunter, and ne is twi tea around in ids »k ff 

 aiming at a b.rd flyiLg above and behind 

 him. 



No. 10 shows fl'gbt duck shooting. The scene 

 is a marsh, on whose broken suriace ti.e sun 

 is s tting behind the clouds. In the foie- 

 ground, on a grassy point, are the huntci aud 

 his spaniel. Toe l.umeris n » kneeling at i- 

 tude and in the act of tiring h s hrsi barrel, 

 'ihe S| an el is plui gnig into the water to re- 

 tiieveti.e bhv whicn has fallen to he first 

 barrel. In me di»t»nce M'e Eying due*!-. 



Nos. 11 aud 12 represent the hunter retiring 

 from the marsh auu at home, and tnese two 

 are among tne stron 6 est of tne set.
