About the Item

Presenting a Rare Lynn Bogue Hunt engraving of ducks unlimited 1940. This piece cam from a wealthy estate in Dallas, TX with the mansion being built by a stockbroker in 1929. It is clearly an engraving, as the press/plate marks are visible and it is numbered on the back “No 1562”. Normally, one would assume that this is the number in a limited edition series of prints but in this case we do not think it is, because, we cannot find another! So maybe, it is the plate number. It features a number of what appear to be Mallard ducks (9 of them) taking flight from a lake with rushes in the background. The detail to the engraving is soo good that we initially thought it might be a pencil sketch. Signed ‘Lynn Bogue Hunt’ on the bottom right. Titled ‘Ducks Unlimited 1940’ below the engraving. In it’s original frame but we have re-matted it. Lynn Bogue Hunt (1878–1960) was an American wildlife artist, and illustrator of magazines and books. Hunt was born in Honeoye Falls, New York in 1878. From age 12 he lived in Albion, Michigan; he became a student at Albion College. From 1899 he was a staff artist at the Detroit Free Press. He moved to New York City in 1903, where he was a freelance artist, providing illustrations for magazines, books and advertisements. Books illustrated included books on waterfowl hunting, upland game bird hunting and saltwater fishing, which were also his own main interests. He illustrated several books published by the Derrydale Press, including Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers by Burton Spiller, and his own book An Artist’s Game Bag. In 1917 Our American Game Birds, a portfolio of 18 color reproductions of paintings by Hunt, was published by DuPont. From 1924 to 1947 he contributed regularly to Field Stream, providing magazine covers and illustrating articles. He designed the 1939/40 Federal Duck Stamp. Game Birds of America, 12 color prints published by Field and Stream, appeared in 1944. David McCheyne Newell, editor of Field and Stream, wrote: “[T]here are a very few artists, indeed, who can paint wildlife as the sportsman sees it in the field. Hunt can do this.” His last cover for Field and Stream appeared in 1951. Suffering from failing eyesight, he ceased painting in 1952 and retired to his home in Long Island. He died in Mineola in 1960, aged 82.
