EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Works of the Thames Angling Preservation Society (engraving)" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 6,1865. The engraving depicts a scene that highlights the efforts of the Thames Angling Preservation Society to protect and enhance angling opportunities along the River Thames. In this particular image, we are transported to breeding ponds located in Hampton and Sunbury. These ponds serve as vital habitats for various fish species found in the river. One notable feature captured in this artwork is a fish ladder—a structure designed to assist fish in navigating obstacles such as dams or weirs during their migration upstream to spawn. This innovative solution implemented by the society demonstrates their commitment to preserving and maintaining healthy populations of fish within the river ecosystem. The serene beauty of nature is evident throughout this enchanting engraving, with tranquil waters reflecting lush greenery surrounding these breeding ponds. It serves as a reminder not only of our responsibility towards conservation but also how art can capture significant moments in history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece through their fine art printing techniques, allowing us to appreciate and admire both its historical significance and artistic merit today.
