Featured in this lot is this 1886 edition of, "The Complete Angler" by Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton. The book is a practical guide to the art of angling, or fishing. The work has a nominal plot: Piscator (a fisherman), Venator (a hunter), and Auceps (a falconer) meet by chance and fall to discussing the merits of each man’s preferred sport. Piscator’s eloquent description of the joys and virtues of fishing convinces Venator to accompany him for several days of fishing. The bulk of the work, however, consists of practical advice to fishermen, as told by Piscator to Venator, about such topics as bait and fishing equipment, the habits of different kinds of fish, and methods of catching and cooking various fish. The book features a dark blue hardback cover with the spine showing the title, the author and publisher in gold gilt embossed lettering with intricate gold gilt floral designs. The book has numerous black and white illustrations throughout. The book is in good condition overall with slight wear to the front cover and spine. The interior pages are in good condition as well with no signs of tears or foxing present. The book measures 7 3/8" L x 5" W x 1" D.
