A NOTABLE ART ENTERPRISE 



The Sportsman's Reverie. 



A SERIES OF PICTURES FOR SPORTSMEN. 



J^EADERS of the Forest and Stream cannot fail to r collect Mr. Thomas F. Watson's 

 poem entitled, "The Sports in a u 'a R-vcrie," printed in ibis j nirnal 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 ihc yaj i d visions which come bi fore the view of the vete- 

 ran fportsman as he sils in eas-y chair before tin fire. O the author and his poem the Detroit 

 Free Press said in an appreciative ro'ice: -The imth r is evidently a man of the most 

 acute sportsmanly enthusiasm, as well as of nice literary taste. His poem 19 built upon a 

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

 srwa; lie grows half drowsy over pip- and fire and the poet has caught— with a nice and 

 sensitive appreciation— the remini c nces of a hundred hunts which flit through his brain. 

 One experience after another is described wilh graceful pen touche-; 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 bdween sun and sud— is described, even the trout, 

 from the clear rapid, paying tiibute to the prowe.-s of a dreamland sportsman, until at last, 

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

 tired retriever crouchis at his feet, and, with his duck?, the final trophi s of his sport, at his 

 side, he looks back over the darkening water; and then, once agiin hi his fircsi le, the end 

 of the visien comes naturally and yracefully." 



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

 canvas pictures ot the painter. Artist-po< t and poet-artist have united to give us the poem 

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

 a serii s of twilve pictures, each t- lling in color what the poem tells in words. Piom these 

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

 lar verse cf the poem illustrated. The series is remarkable for stiict adherence to nature, 

 fidelity in portraying action, and artistic m< rit. 



THE TWELVE PICTURES: 



No. 1 :hows the hunter seated in an easy 

 attitude in an arm chair, gazing reflectively 

 into the tire on the heartn. Above the lire- 

 place are ths head aud antlers of a deer. The 

 sports trail's light arm is around the nec ; of 

 his dog, which is resting on his haunches be- 

 side the chair. His left hand hold* his pipe. 

 The firelight flickers on the flour 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 ot 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. 3 represents snipe shooting. In the fore- 

 ground is the sportsman, his body twisted 

 around to the left in the attitude of making a 

 double 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 copse around whose border a brook 

 is winding. In the foreground, standing 

 deep in the ferns aud rank vegetation, is a 

 setter on "a point. Behind the dog is the 

 sportsman in the attitude of shooting at a 

 bird flying directly over him. 



No. 5 shows a quail hunter in the foreground, 

 walking along ready for the shot, which will 

 follow the rise of the birds, on which the dog 

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

 the sky is that of a day in Indian summer. 



No. 6 depicts grouse or partridge shooting 

 in the beech woods. The hunter is walkin g 

 down a slope. 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 bodv is in the 

 shadow, the lower pait in the strong light of 

 the sun 1 aj s. 



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

 brook is tumbling down through the woods 

 and over the rocks into the pi ol. The sky is 

 cloudy and the sunlight is struggling througe. 



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

 the foreground a Duck, just shot, is fat ing on 

 the edge of a lake, lea ring down the slope 

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

 hind I he roots of an upturned tiee, are seen 

 the head and shoulders of the hunter, whose 

 rifle is still bearing on the deer. 



No. 9 represents shootmg 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 ot 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. One 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 the head of the 

 hunter, aud he is twuted around in his sk ff 

 aiming at a bird flyirjg above and behind 

 him. 



No. 10 shows flight duck shooting. The scene 

 is a marsh, on whose broken surface tiie sun 

 is setting behind the clouds. In the fore- 

 ground, on a grassy point, are the hunter and 

 his spaniel. The nun ter is m a kneeling atti- 

 tude and in the act of firing his first barrel. 

 The spaniel is plunging into the water to re- 

 trieve the bird which has fallen to the 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 24x.30in. ; size of 

 print I4£xl7iin. The pictures have the tint and tint border, and the artist's remarque and 

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