The Hunter

A beautiful li'l illustration to John Erskines "The Hunter",
located in the back of Liberty Magazine Feb 24, 1934.



I wonder who the artist is.
Would love to see more.

I'm pretty sure this was drawn by Hubert Mathieu (1897-1954), a South Dakotan artist who studied with Harvey Dunn and worked in New York illustration and advertising beginning during the 1920s and 1930s. I found an interesting detailed biography of him on the South Dakota State Historical Society Press website. With any luck this should get you there:
