Poster print entitled, "A Bold Bluff by Cassius Coolidge Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, also known as Cash Coolidge, created the whimsical "Poker Dogs," a series of oil paintings made in the 1920s depicting a group not only playing poker but engaged in other usually human activities. He was born on September 18, 1844 on a farm between the small towns of Antwerp and Philadelphia, New York. Called "Cash" by his friends, he was named after Cassius Marcellus Clay, the brother of the famous statesmen Henry Clay. The (paintings') sequential narrative follows the same 'players' in the course of a hand of poker," said an auction note from Doyle. "In the first, our main character, the St. Bernard, holds a weak hand as the rest of the crew maintains their best poker faces. The Framed Poster of a Bold Bluff by Coolidge is framed with traditional wood frame at a size of 41" X 30"
