Fall 1998 Issue |
The Fall 1998 issue contains two feature articles, one on Bears-on-all-Fours, a pictorial essay of artists' and manufactures' representation of the real Bear behind the Teddy Bear. Included are Artist Bears, remarkable antiques, and other unusual collectibles with the image of the Bear in its natural state, on all fours, and the other on The Fox and the Hound. A truce has been called for this issue, in the rivalry between the Fox and the Hound. Many rare, unusual, and comical examples of both by artists and manufactures alike. You don't need to like the Fox or the Hound to enjoy this feature.
