Lynn Bogue Hunt

Lynn Bogue Hunt was an American wildlife artist, and illustrator of magazines and books.

Hunt was born in Honeoye Falls, New York in 1878. From age 12 he lived in Albion, Michigan; he became a student at Albion College. From 1899 he was a staff artist at the Detroit Free Press.

He moved to New York City in 1903, where he was a freelance artist, providing illustrations for magazines, books and advertisements.

Books illustrated included books on waterfowl hunting, upland game bird hunting and saltwater fishing, which were also his own main interests. He illustrated several books published by the Derrydale Press, including Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers by Burton Spiller, and his own book An Artist's Game Bag.

In 1917 Our American Game Birds, a portfolio of 18 color reproductions of paintings by Hunt, was published by DuPont. From 1924 to 1947 he contributed regularly to Field & Stream, providing magazine covers and illustrating articles. He designed the 1939/40 Federal Duck Stamp.

Game Birds of America, 12 color prints published by Field and Stream, appeared in 1944. David McCheyne Newell, editor of Field and Stream, wrote: "[T]here are a very few artists, indeed, who can paint wildlife as the sportsman sees it in the field. Hunt can do this."

His last cover for Field and Stream appeared in 1951. Suffering from failing eyesight, he ceased painting in 1952 and retired to his home in Long Island. He died in Mineola in 1960, aged 82.

He was a father to Bryan Hunt and grandfather to Alan Bryan Hunt; great grandfather to Adrienne Doreen Hunt and Oliver Hunt of New York.
