EDITORS COMMENTS
. This watercolor print by Edward L Loper takes us back to the hunting traditions of the 1930s. Titled "Powder Horn" it showcases an ornate container that was once an essential tool for hunters during this era. Loper's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous depiction of the powder horn, which features intricate scrimshaw designs etched onto its surface. The artist's use of color brings life to the artwork, highlighting the rich history and craftsmanship behind this unique hunting accessory. The powder horn itself serves as a symbol of both functionality and artistry. Used to hold gunpowder for muzzle-loading firearms, it played a crucial role in early American hunting expeditions.

Through this piece, Loper invites viewers into a world where hunting parties embarked on thrilling adventures amidst picturesque landscapes.
