"On the Alert" is a vintage print that may be the work of R. Atkinson Fox.  Fox did have a print titled "On the Alert", but it is not this image.  The work in the print does look very similar to that of Fox.  R. Atkinson Fox (1860-1935) was a prolific illustrator of calendars, posters, postcards, picture puzzles, and advertising material from the late 1900s until about 1930.  Naturalism was considered Fox's strength as a painter.  He was especially admired for his paintings of landscape, horses, cows and mountains.  Fox's work has been popular among collectors for decades, even spawning "The R.A. Fox Society", a group dedicated to his work.

"On the Alert" shows two springer hunting dogs. It is 6.5" x 9.5" in overall size and is in fair condition. There is wear on the edges, especially in the lower left corner.  There is a hole in the upper middle center where the print was hung, and there is scribbling on the back. The paper is a heavy but flexible card stock.  Please use the included photos as a condition guide.
