EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical 19th-century print by John Leech, titled "The Pike is a voracious fish and bites readily in the Winter months-Old Gentleman" we are transported to a wintry riverbank scene. The image showcases an old gentleman indulging in his beloved pastime of fishing. Clad in warm clothing, he stands on the icy river surface with his trusty fishing rod in hand. Leech's vibrant watercolor brings out the humor and charm of this moment. The frozen river provides a picturesque backdrop as the old man eagerly awaits a bite from the voracious pike lurking beneath the icy depths. His determination is evident as he wields a pickaxe, ready to break through any obstacles that stand between him and his catch. This artwork captures not only the joy of angling but also reflects British heritage and leisure activities during that era. Leech's satirical touch adds an element of light-heartedness to this otherwise serene winter scene. "The Pike is a voracious fish and bites readily in the Winter months-Old Gentleman" serves as both an amusing commentary on human nature's pursuit of hobbies and an appreciation for aquatic life. This delightful piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless humor and artistic brilliance.
