Like and save for later
Handsome color illustration of a pronghorn antelope herd (two in color in foreground, with more silhouetted in background), from the stated 1st edition of the 1958 book, Hoofs, Claws, and Antlers: The Story of American Big-Game Animals written by Harold McCracken & illustrated by Lee J. Ames, published by Garden City Books. Printed in the U.S.A.
This is page 26 of the salvaged book and depicts the "Brown nymph of the plains," or Antilocapra americana. Colors included in the piece are brown, gold, white, blue, green, and black.
The full page measures 12 1/8" high by 8 3/4" wide, and the illustration portion of the page measures 8" high by 8 3/4" wide. Suitable for custom framing (probably with a matboard). (Frame and matboard aren't included, just the art print.) This could also be used for a decoupage project.
This would be a beautiful piece of art for anyone who loves antelopes, wildlife, or nature.
Very good preowned condition.
