FROST\nA displayable full-page sporting illustration by A.B. Frost โ€” snipe shooting, one of the great American upland bird hunting traditions and a subject Frost rendered with his characteristic combination of precision and warmth. Snipe shooting in the late 19th century was a serious and demanding sporting pursuit practiced in wet meadows and marsh edges throughout the East Coast, and Frost's illustration captures the quick-flushing, erratic-flying character of the bird that gave the English language the word \"sniper.\" Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928) is widely regarded as the finest American sporting illustrator of the Gilded Age, and his hunting prints โ€” rail shooting, quail shooting, duck shooting, and now snipe โ€” are among the most actively collected of his output. Admitted posthumously to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1985, Frost brought genuine sporting knowledge and humorous humanity to his subjects. A vivid, atmospheric, and very frameable piece of American sporting art.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท THE EVACUATION OF PUERTO RICO\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐Ÿ“ธ FULL PAGE โ€” \"THE EVACUATION OF PUERTO RICO โ€” SCENES ATTENDING THE FORMAL SURRENDER\" โ€” FIVE PHOTOGRAPHS\nFive photographs documenting the formal Spanish evacuation of Puerto Rico โ€” one of the most historically significant events in Puerto Rican history. On October 18, 1898, the American flag was raised over San Juan and four centuries of Spanish rule in Puerto Rico formally ended. The Spanish evacuation โ€” the ceremonies, the departing troops, the transfer of buildings and government โ€” was a solemn and consequential moment for the island's 900,000 inhabitants. These five photographs are a primary photographic document of the end of Spanish Puerto Rico and the beginning of American Puerto Rico, capturing the human reality of sovereignty transfer at its most visible.
