EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Fyshynge Wyth An Angle" takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of wood-engraving. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration from Joseph Cundall's book "A Brief History of Wood-engraving" published in 1895. The image transports us to a serene fishing scene, where an angler patiently waits by the water's edge with his fishing implements. This historical artwork offers a glimpse into the ancient practice of angling, as depicted in "The Book of St Albans" by Wynkyn de Worde in 1496. The attention to detail is remarkable; each line etched on firwood brings life to this timeless moment. It not only captures the essence of fishing but also serves as a testament to the importance of timber during that era - both as firewood and for various other purposes. As we admire this engraving, it reminds us of our connection with nature and our ancestors' reliance on its resources. It invites contemplation about how far we have come since then while acknowledging that some traditions endure through generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece meticulously, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history and fishing culture, this print will surely captivate your imagination.
