1896 Recreation Magazine's Lost Sporting Tale

Adventure Dog: Twelve Months, Twelve Tales
In 1896, Recreation Magazine commissioned their young staff artist Hy Watson to create twelve promotional posters created in the style of their magazine cover. What emerged was something extraordinary – a year-long tale of an unlikely sporting duo. Each month captures a gentleman sportsman and his energetic dachshund companion tackling a different outdoor pursuit, from winter snowshoeing to summer swimming holes.
