New York: Sackett & Wilhelms Lith. & Ptg. Co. Copyright by F.M. Johnson, M.D., 1902. Chromolithographic print by Sackett and WIlhelms on gold card mount; printed label on verso. 1 vols. 20 x 30 inches. Some light edgewear, else fine. Chromolithographic print by Sackett and WIlhelms on gold card mount; printed label on verso. 1 vols. 20 x 30 inches. Choice example from the sumptuous turn-of-the-century chromolithographic plates to accompany Dr. Frank M Johnson’s Forest, Lake and River. Few complete sets have survived. Little is known of the life and career of August D. Turner, who worked as a portraitist and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The large and dynamic paintings of fish for Johnson’s work are his chief legacy. Wetzel p. 166 “sumptuous”; Bruns B-33 “Of extreme rarity with the plates, bringing any price”; Heckscher 1129; Reuter p. 722
