Beschreibung

132 individual issues, a complete run. Small folios. Covers VG or better, some with chips to the spine paper. Contents near fine. The Sportsman was the first "coffee-table" sports magazine published in America. In the spirit of Vanity Fair and Country Life, which it resembled, the magazine focused on particular interests of the upper class, in this case, amateur sports: fishing, hunting (with emphasis on fox and duck), golf, tennis, yachting and motorboating, the turf, car racing, swimming, even chess and bridge. Prominent contributors included writers Ross Santee, Julian Hawthorne, and amateur champions from most of the sports the magazine covered. Guy Arnoux drew most of the covers in the twenties; a variety of artists contributed covers in the thirties. Contributors of interior art included Gluyas Williams, DT Carlisle, Frank Benson, W. Heath Robinson, Rea Irvin, and E.H. Suydam. The Sportsman persevered through the Depression, but finally succumbed to the economic malaise in 1937. A nice set.
