About This Item
London : Edward Arnold, 1897. First edition. The barrister and artist Sir Francis Newbolt, brother of the poet, with tales of fishing - in Scotland, on the Thames, and especially in the salmon rivers of Norway - with a concluding piece on "The Angler's Library". "There is a freshness and a certain refined choice of language in these three-and-twenty chats on angling topics which raise them above the usual level of fishermen's stories" (St. James's Gazette, 26th April 1897). "Some capital reading of an unhackneyed kind" (Morning Post, 13th April 1897). Crown 8vo (20cm). (256)pp. Frontispiece - a signed original etching by the author - and twelve atmospheric plates by Thomas Hope McLachlan (1845-1897). Original blue cloth, ruled and blocked in blind and silver; just a hint of rubbing; a few edge spots; mild tanning of endpapers; one leaf slightly creased, but a very good copy of a most attractive production.
