EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by F. Lix takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a scene of salmon fishing in Alsace and Lorraine. The print was created to illustrate Charles Grad's enthralling story "Through Alsace and Lorraine" published in Le Tour du monde, a renowned journal of voyages edited by Edouard Charton. The image showcases a traditional French barque floating gracefully on the tranquil waters, as fishermen eagerly engage in their pursuit of salmon. With precise detail, Lix skillfully portrays the essence of this ancient practice, highlighting the intricate instruments used by these skilled anglers. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich natural beauty that once thrived in this region. Salmon were abundant in these waters during that era, attracting not only local fishermen but also nature enthusiasts like Charles Grad himself – a German depute, writer, and naturalist. This exquisite print from Leonard de Selva's private collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind F. Lix's engraving and its significance within the context of travel literature at that time. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife and exploration while offering glimpses into an era long gone.
