n.p. 1940. 1 vols. 6-1/4 inches in diameter. These plates have been used to dine from and there are occasional minute scratches but they are fine overall and ideal for display. Lynn Bogue Hunt. 1 vols. 6-1/4 inches in diameter. Wildfowl China Plates by Lynn Bogue Hunt. On November 3 1943 Lynn Bogue Hunt wrote to Eugene V. Connett founder proprietor and in 1942 liquidator of The Derrydale Press: ".I have been decorating highball glasses plates and doing porcelains for a couple of years and with considerable success on a royalty basis". Looking at these exceptionally attractive and interesting plates it is easy to see why. Hunt's ducks pheasant quail and other species are vigorously depicted in flight with Hunt's caption and signature included on the front surface. On the back of each plate is shown a pair of the subject birds and a lengthy description about 125 words of their characteristics and habits lettered and signed by Hunt. Despite numerous attempts by various practitioners sporting art does not always translate well to other media but with these plates Hunt has successfully combined form and function with elegance and style.<br/><br/>A BEAUTIFUL SET. unknown books
