A Wild Turkey Hunt.

Painted by R. F. Zogbaum, “A Wild Turkey Hunt” depicts a young man lying in the grass aiming his rifle at four turkeys. A young Indian guide is crouched behind him.

This print, which gives a glimpse of what hunting and fishing was like nearing the turn of the century is one of fifteen chromolithographs that were included in the 1889-1890 folio "Sport or Fishing and Shooting" published by Bradlee Whidden of Boston and edited by A.C. Gould. These prints are based on watercolors that were commissioned for the publication, and illustrated by prominent American artists. Each folio illustration was accompanied by a single leaf of descriptive text followed by an account of the depicted sporting scene. The publication was advertised as having been reviewed for accuracy by a renowned group of anglers and hunters prior to printing. This print was originally titled and numbered on the text page as 9.

The artist, Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum (1849-1925) was known for his images of horses, cowboys, and battle scenes.
