Mixed Media on 16x20x1.5 Cradled Wood
$350
This is another mixed media piece from my thrift and antique store rummaging. The images and text were taken from the June 1946 issue of a magazine called “Hunting and Fishing.”
I have developed a fascination for researching who owned the books and publications that I use. This one proved another interesting story.
It is addressed to Richard K. Wood of Chattanooga. Turns out he was well-known outdoorsman and photographer, had a book written about him, and even had a photo credit in the magazine. While researching him I saw a discussion about him on the Facebook page, Picnooga, which is dedicated to vintage Chattanooga photos and history.
