About This Item
1889 FISHING Angling Whaling Salmon Trout Pike Illustrated FISH Whales 3v SET
'The Badminton Library' was perhaps the most important 19th-century encyclopedia published with the intent of providing the English public with reading on sports and leisure, skill improvement, and general knowledge of their favorite pastimes.
This lot from the 'Badminton Library' contains three books on fishing and whaling. It features Henry Cholmondeley-Pennell's treatise on fishing salmon, trout, and pike. "Sea Fishing" includes numerous treatises including 'Whaling' by Gore-Booth, and 'Tarpon' by Harmsworth. Note the impressive illustrations throughout with views of fish, fishing spots, and fishing gear.
