Richard E Bishop 1951 Signed Etching WINGMEAD Monsanto Queeny Merry Christmas

Description: RICHARD E. BISHOP (1887-1975) listed wildlife artist, early winner of the federal duck stamp competition. This is an unframed dry point etching of mallard ducks taking off. Dimensions: 4" x 6" image size, paper is 7.5 X 5.5" Signed by artist, 1951. This was a Christmas card sent in 1951 by Ethel & Edgar Queeny. Edgar Queeny was the former CEO of the Monsanto Corporation in St Louis, Mo and an avid outdoorsman. See scans for condition of front and back. No folds, creases or tears, but the paper has yellowed some with age. This came to me through an estate sale dealer from Stuttgart, Arkansas, the American duck hunting mecca. About Queeny from Waterfowler Hall of Fame website: Edgar Monsanto Queeny was just 30 when he took over leadership of Monsanto from his father, leading the company through the 1929 stock market crisis and expanding it into a global presence. He built Monsanto into the third-largest chemical company in the country and fifth-largest worldwide by the time he retired in 1960 as one of the ten richest men on the planet. But if it weren’t for ducks, Queeny would have had little in common with the openly warm Arkansans whose state he visited very duck season. A man of few words, he and his wife Ethel kept largely to themselves when they were here, staying in rented trailers the first few times out. Legend holds two things about Ethel; first, that she could handle a shotgun almost as well as her husband and second, in putting her foot down over the accommodations, she moved her husband to build a better “hunting shack.” He delivered Wingmead.In that era, duck hunting was a muddy, primitive affair for most people and while some duck lodges transcended mere drafty shacks, few were as opulent as Queeny’s private retreat in eastern Arkansas.
