Attractive Framed Iver Johnson Revolvers
and Shotguns Advertising Print - The print
is by Anton von Beust, likely in the late 19th
century or very early 20th century, and features
a woman fox hunting. The woman is clad in late
19th century hunting attire, carries a shotgun, and
is accompanied by her dog, with her successfully
dispatched quarry at her feet. The artists signature
is in the bottom right and the large Iver Johnson text is in the upper left, along with additional
advertising on the rocks below the woman’s feet. Including the frame the piece measures
approximately 25 x 18 1/4 inches.
CONDITION: Fine, the print itself has distinctive imagery/text and vibrant color with very
minimal visible wear or fading. There is some scattered grey/brown spotting on the glass over
the print. The vintage frame is very good with some light handling/storage wear and a piece of
absent trim near the bottom left. This would be a fantastic decor piece for a firearms collector!
Provenance: The Brig & Louise Pemberton Collection.
Estimate: 2,000 - 3,500
