This is another print from the Library of Congress's digital collection that I found while doing my Tenkara research. As you can see it is a 19th century scene showing men and women on the bank of a river "Tenkara" fishing for trout. This lithograph is circa 1870 by John Walsh & Co.. The original measure size D (roughly 14" x 20"). I did clean up the image removing the patina.
Enjoy
I do like those old etchings and sketches. Nice to connect to the past visions of how fishing was.
ReplyDeleteI like the old prints as well, not to mention writings on fly fishing. We get so absorbed in the new we forget our roots. There is a lot to learn from the past which better informs our future.
