This is a vintage promotional calendar print from 1931, published by the noted firm Brown & Bigelow of St. Paul, Minnesota. The piece features a dramatic and action-filled scene of an angler fly fishing in a rushing river, a popular subject in early 20th-century sporting art. The print itself is copyrighted 1923, indicating the image was repurposed for this later calendar. The style is illustrative and typical of the era's commercial artwork, designed to be both aspirational and engaging.
• Published by Brown & Bigelow, with a visible 1923 copyright on the print.
• Includes a small, complete, and attached 1931 calendar pad.
• The color print is tipped-on to a heavy decorative cardstock backer.
• Overall backer measures approximately 11.5" wide by 9.5" high.
Condition: Fair vintage condition. The piece shows significant signs of age and handling but the central image remains displayable. The cardstock backer has notable wear, including torn and soft corners, edge chipping, creases, and surface discoloration. The print itself exhibits some surface scratches and light creasing consistent with the backer damage. The calendar pad is attached and appears complete but is fragile due to age.
