EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by William Lee Hankey for the renowned book "The Compleat Angler" written by Izaak Walton. The colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of fishing, a beloved sport and hobby that has transcended time. Hankey's artistic talent shines through as he depicts two fishermen immersed in their craft. The scene transports us to a serene riverside setting, where old Oliver Henly, now with God, engages in his passion for catching both trout and salmon. This illustration was created for the 1913 edition of Walton's masterpiece published by T N Foulis. "The Compleat Angler" holds great historical significance as it dates back to the 17th century when it was first published. It remains a treasured piece of literature that celebrates not only the art of fishing but also nature's tranquility and man's connection to it. William Lee Hankey, a distinguished British painter from the early 20th century, skillfully brings this timeless scene to life with his brushstrokes. His attention to detail and ability to capture emotion make this artwork truly remarkable. As we admire this fine art print, we are reminded of the joy found in pursuing our passions amidst nature's beauty. Whether one is an avid angler or simply appreciates artistry at its finest, this illustration serves as a testament to human creativity and our enduring love affair with outdoor pursuits.
