Fishing Series 1910
In 1910. Johnson produced twelve exaggerated fishing scenes including three from the early batch copyrighted February 1910. In 1911, he added only one more to the fishing category.
All three of the cards at the top of the page did not go on for national distribution. The buildings and streets were not adaptable to other towns so their availability is limited.
Johnson quickly learned to focus on rural or natural scenes that could be almost anyplace in the country and increase the marketability of his exaggeration cards.
