Description: 1923 PAUL BRANSOM ROOSTER POULTRY CHICKEN FARM COCKFIGHT ILLUS ART COVER COV1366 DATE OF THIS ** ORIGINAL ** ILLUSTRATED COVER: 1923SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS: When collecting ILLUSTRATED COVER ART one can do so by content, artist, year, theme, etc etc... with plenty of each to fill a wall or portfolio... Prices are normally based on condition, artist, condition, theme, condition, publishing year, condition... and condition... (DO YA SEE THE PATTEN...HAHA) Most of the covers where mailed folded (and / or folded by the owner to fit the back pocket or purse). Those covers which have no center fold have a higher premium in any collection. Because of the gloss paper used and the richness of inks for most covers, age wear + use from handling are very important factors in pricing (see above value line for pricing factors)ILLUSTRATED COVER artwork is fun, exciting and well worth COLLECTING, as each year takes it's toll... the remaining covers available in the market have shrunk AND THUS those that survive consistently keep INCREASING in value.. Framed correctly with acid free techniques and quality matting, backing and frames will no doubt increase their value as the years pass. and in the meantime one gets to derive the pleasure of enjoyment and sharing with friends..COVER ART works well to display not only in the home but certainly does well for any office, or business establishment.. Always getting plenty of "viewing", questions and comments... AGRICULTURE ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST: Paul Bransom (July 1885 – July 19, 1979) was an American painter, cartoonist, and illustrator of animals. Born in Washington, D.C., as a child Bransom started sketching animals he saw in his backyard and at the National Zoo. He began his career as a technical draftsman for the U.S. Patent Office when he was 13 years old. In 1903 he moved to New York City, where he worked for the New York Evening Journal as a comic strip artist. He drew the comic strip The Latest News from Bugville (1903-1912). After moving to New York, his talent as a wildlife artist was recognized while creating studies of the animals at the Bronx Zoo. His earliest commissions were covers for the Saturday Evening Post and illustrations for editions of Kipling's Just So Stories and Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. Bransom was awarded the Benjamin West Clinedinst Memorial Medal, and his works are included in the collection of the National Museum of American Illustration at Newport, Rhode Island. Bransom was a resident of New York City from 1906 until his death. He died on July 19, 1979, during a visit to Quakertown, Pennsylvania, several days before his 94th birthday.
