#RP-5 - "Red-Sided Minnow, et al" by Sherman F. Denton - 1902 Chromolithograph print - 9" x 12", framed - $40.00 This true-to-life chromolithograph print was part of a set published in 1902. Denton was a principal artist to the New York State Forest, Fish and Game Commission. A master of the art, his prints are becoming more and more scarce, and are avidly sought-after! The 4 fish are Red-Sided Minnow, Common Silverside, Creek Chub and Red-Nosed Minnow. All are delicately colored, as with all chromolithographs, by successive applications of carefully registered stones, each applying its specific color... black, grey, blue, yellow, pink and red... each standing alone here, or blending with another there, to form the subtle shade differences that help to identify the unique tints of each species as they looked in life! The print resides behind glass in a good quality gilded frame. The print is in VeryGood condition, with a small pressure bend, near the mid-right edge of the frame, that was stopped before it became a crease, and another slightly larger, near the upper-left frame edge. These are only visible upon close inspection with oblique light. Otherwise the print is crisp, clean, bright and without other fault. The frame is in VeryGood condition, with a few signs of light rubbing at a couple of corners and a 1/8" x 1/2" area along the LR side of the frame. These could be easily touched-up. Otherwise it's ready to hang.
