EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Tarpon-Fishing in a Florida River" transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print captures the essence of an exhilarating fishing expedition in the United States. The scene unfolds on a serene Florida river, where anglers eagerly pursue their prized catch - tarpons. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his engraving tool brings life to the rushing waters and lush surroundings. The composition skillfully balances action and tranquility as we witness fishermen battling against these mighty creatures. Woodville's work was originally published in The Illustrated London News in December 1895, offering readers a glimpse into this thrilling sport. As we gaze upon this historic image today, it serves as both a testament to our enduring fascination with angling and a window into America's rich fishing heritage. This particular print now resides within a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It reminds us of the timeless allure of riverside adventures and invites us to appreciate nature's beauty while engaging in one of humanity's oldest pastimes – fishing.
