Artist's Description
This is a restored copy of a vintage Smokey Bear Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires poster depicting Smokey Bear with his binoculars as he looks for forest fires.
This illustration was published in 1987 by a paid artist employee of the US Federal Government for the United States Forest Service fire prevention education campaign.
Smokey Bear was a three month old five pound American black bear cub who was discovered in the early spring of 1950 after the Capitan Gap fire, a large forest fire that raged through the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. Smokey had gone up a tree to flee the inferno, but his paws and rear legs had been burned. Firefighters from New Mexico and Texas who came to fight the conflagration rescued Smokey from the tree that he was hiding in. Soon after his rescue Smokey was nursed back to health and became the inspiration for the famous US Forest Service fire prevention Smokey Bear campaign beloved by all.

About Peter Ogden
I have been a visual artist since the 1960s. I'm originally from Orange County, New York, located in the Metro New York City region where I was raised on the working dairy farm [Ogden Farm] which my family founded in 1832. As a young man I spent many long hours working in gardens, crop fields, pastures and in barns with livestock. I grew up surrounded by antiques. I graduated from Bucknell University where I majored in art which included a semester in Florence studying Italian Renaissance art. After Bucknell I studied at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. I have lived throughout the U.S. [including three years in Sante Fe, New Mexico], in the Caribbean and in Mexico and Central America. I now reside in the 19th century...
