I gave this book as a gift to a family friend who is an avid fly fisherman and lover of wildlife.. It is an outstanding book on another side of the artist Frank Benson's work. I had been in contact with the author about using a painting illustrated in the book for a book that is currently in progress.

I love sporting artwork. Having been brought up in a family that did a tremendous amount of hunting and fishing, Mr. Benson gives you a magical look as to what that era was like in the early 1900's. The author writings are very well presented. She obviously has researched the life of Mr. Benson and his works of art extensively.
THis is a great book for any fan of sporting art or Frank Benson. There is a wonderful selection of Bensons watercolors, oils, and etchings. THere are a few of the wash drawings but I would have liked better examples. Overall it deserves a place on your bookshelf.
Beautiful photos and drawings plus the artist's story.
