FROST: MAN FALLEN FROM BICYCLE\nA full front-page illustration by A.B. Frost of a man who has taken a tumble from his bicycle โ€” a perfect subject for Frost's genius for capturing the comedy of human mishap with warmth and precision. The bicycle craze of the 1890s was one of the great social phenomena of the Gilded Age โ€” bicycle clubs, cycling fashions, and heated debates about women riding bicycles had dominated the decade โ€” and Frost's front-page bicycle comedy captures that moment with his characteristic wit. Arthur Burdett Frost (1851-1928) joined Harper \u0026amp; Brothers in 1876 and became one of the great American illustrators of the era, admitted posthumously to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1985. His front-page placement in this issue is a mark of his stature at the publication. An original Frost illustration in a complete original issue.\n\n๐Ÿฆ… FULL PAGE โ€” A.B. FROST: \"RAIL SHOOTING\" โ€” SHOOTING A BIRD FROM A BOAT\nA displayable full-page sporting illustration by A.B. Frost โ€” \"Rail Shooting,\" showing a hunter shooting a rail bird from a small boat moving through the marsh. Rail shooting was one of the most distinctive American sporting traditions, practiced in the tidal marshes of the Atlantic coast by gunners who stood in flat-bottomed boats while pushers poled them through the reed beds, flushing the secretive rails into flight. Frost was widely regarded as the finest American sporting illustrator of his era, and his hunting and shooting prints are among the most actively collected of his output. 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”\n๐Ÿงผ FULL-PAGE COLOR IVORY SOAP ADVERTISEMENT\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\n๐Ÿงผ FULL PAGE COLOR โ€” IVORY SOAP ADVERTISEMENT\nA full-page color advertisement for Ivory Soap โ€” one of America's most iconic consumer brands, launched by Procter \u0026amp; Gamble in 1879 and famous for its \"99 and 44\/100 percent pure\" slogan. Full-page color advertisements are among the most sought-after features in antique illustrated newspapers โ€” vivid, displayable, and a window into the birth of modern American consumer culture.
