About This Item
London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1847. First edition. Blind-stamped cloth with gilt lettering on spine still bright, although the spine is sun fades otherwise. Very good. Deals with fishing with artificial flies (illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches), baits, etc. A chapter on "Piscatorial Physiology" by Erasmus Wilson in included as a separate chapter.
Some wear at the top and bottom of the spine and a small chip out of the edge where the front cover meets the spine. The pages are all there, although they have grown stiff from age (easy to read, no foxing or discoloring). Binding is secure, but the cloth on the spine is parting from the front cover
