The Salmon-Leap, near Coleraine, Ireland, 1844. Creator: Unknown
The Salmon-Leap, near Coleraine, Ireland, 1844. On a fine day in summer, the Bann salmon may be seen in thousands disporting themselves in mid air, in sometimes vain, but often successful attempt to surmount the obstacles presented in their stream of life, but, unlike their tyrant tormentors of the human family under similar circumstances, these piscatory mountebanks, undepressed by failure, return again and again to the encounter, with renewed energy and vigour. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
