Smith Harold I.
The Big Snake of Harwich Swamps: original two-page spread illustration for this story in The Sportsman. Graphite and white ink on paper signed and dated
Boston: The Sportsman Magazine 1934. Two sheets each 14 x 10 inches. 1 vols. Slight marginal soiling else fine. Two sheets each 14 x 10 inches. 1 vols. Scarce Original Drawings for The Sportsman. This work by an artist who did covers and some other work for the magazine consists of two full-page drawings with mortised rectangles for the text. It was used to illustrate Gordon Basssett's angling tall tale "The Big Snake of Harwich Swamps" pp. 50-51 of the April 1934 issue of The Sportsman. In the magazine the drawing was poorly reproduced and appears faint and washed out with much loss of detail--the original is clear bold and handsome.<br/><br/>This is a particularly interesting item for two reasons: it illustrates a rare piece of original fiction--or near fiction--of which The Sportsman printed very little and it represents the relatively rare use of a drawing. Most of the magazine's illustrations with the exception of little editorial vignettes many done by Smith and the occasional reproduction of a work of sporting art were photographs.
