EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Opening of the Fishing Season, on the Thames" takes us back to a sunny day in July 1884. The image captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the start of the fishing season as anglers gather along Shepperton Weir. In this bustling scene, we see a group of enthusiastic fishermen preparing their gear for a day on the river. Some are busy setting up their rods while others engage in lively conversations about previous catches and techniques. A ferry captain stands nearby, ready to transport eager anglers across the Thames. As lunchtime approaches, one angler proudly displays his impressive catch - a chub - while another carefully weighs a big roach caught earlier in the morning. The camaraderie among these passionate fishermen is evident as they share stories and tips over sandwiches and flasks of tea. The atmosphere is filled with an air of competition mixed with joyous celebration as everyone eagerly awaits their turn to cast their lines into the glistening waters of the Thames. Mr Senior, an experienced lieutenant from England's School (19th Century), can be seen guiding young Jack on how best to fish for success. This enchanting print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness not only a momentous occasion but also capturing our collective love for angling traditions that have stood strong throughout history.
