For your consideration is this colored lithograph of Phillip R. Goodwin's 1920s oil painting, "Dawn Hunters". Philip Russell Goodwin's natural born talent for illustration became evident very early on and by age eleven he had already sold works to Collier's magazine. Goodwin studied under Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia from 1899-1900. He agreed to his master's belief that an artist should spend time in the environment which he is illustrating. Goodwin also studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Students League in New York. Goodwin's illustrations were published in magazines such as Harper's Monthly and Harper's Weekly, Scribner's and celebrated books such as "Call of the Wild" by Jack London and "African Game Trails" by Theodore Roosevelt. This colored lithograph shows a Native American guide holding a moose call, while a hunter in the birch bark canoe waits patiently for any sign of movement, gripping his rifle. The rising sun casts an orange / yellow color over the valley, while the calm waters reflect the subjects in the scene. The artist's signature can be seen in the bottom right corner reading, "Phillip R. Goodwin". The piece is set in a gold and black colored frame and sits behind glass to preserve its condition. The frame and lithograph show good condition overall with some slight wear to the frame and a small rip in the lithograph on the right side, but no signs of major damage is present. The visible art measures 22" L x 15 1/2" W, while the entire piece measures 24 7/8" L x 18 7/16" W x 1" D.
