    Description

    This is a vintage art print from the famous equine artist Sam Savitt. Known for his animal art work, particularly horses, this is a very rare laminated placemat featuring a pair of English Setters. Measuring approximately 17 3/8" x 11 1/2" the print has the title, ENGLISH SETTER, in the middle of the mat, with the SAVITT signature in all capital letters on the bottom right, with the copyright symbol 1967 Hedwin Corporation mark on the left bottom of mat. The print displays breed-correct details, and are a wonderful, unique, and very hard-to-find collectible. Although best known for his equine artwork, Savitt offered a limited amount of dog artwork as well.
    "Sam Savitt (1917-2000) was an equine artist, author and illustrator. He was the official illustrator of the US Equestrian Team. Savitt is renowned for his passionate portrayal of horses. Sam Savitt lived in North Salem, NY on a farm he called One Horse Farm. One of the most beautiful quotes attributed to Sam Savitt is the following "The horse is beauty, strength, rhythm, and action. To really know and understand him, to capture his magnificence with pencil or brush, will to me be forever challenging." As an admirer and collector of his work, this quote will always come to mind when viewing how beautifully he portrayed his love of the horse."
