For your consideration is this gelatin silver photograph of “The Henry's Fork of the Snake River” taken by Christine Fong. This is number 9 of a 25 limited printing of this photograph. This striking black and white photo shows rays of sun from behind a cloud as a man fly-fishes on the river. On the lower left boarder of the photograph is "Henry's Fork 9/25", and in the lower right boarder is a signature of Christine Fong. The photograph is matted with a collection of four hand tied flies. Three of the flies were tied by Michael Fong (1939-2002); the fourth fly was tied by Nelson Ishiyama of Henry's Fork Lodge. The photograph and flies are doubled matted in black and white and framed in black to complement the photograph. The art comes with a signed letter about the photograph and flies by Michael & Christine Fong in an envelope attached to the back. The shown photograph measures 14 1/4" x 13 3/4"; the window for the flies measures 4 1/2" x 1 3/4 and the frame measures 20 3/8" x 23 3/4". This piece is in good condition and shows very minor marks to the frame.
