About This Item
Boyer's watercolors for the series, done in larger size, were reduced to edition dimensions of approximately 10 x 8 inches. The proof prints here show some richness and nuances that the published edition, for all its beauty, does not. This set was one of the finest productions of The Derrydale Press Sporting Print Series. Ordeman notes that "it is rare that one finds a complete set today".
