Caught on the Fly - A Hilarious Fishing Fiasco
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful lithograph from 1879, titled "Caught on the Fly" we are transported to a picturesque riverbank where a comical scene unfolds. The print, published by Currier and Ives in New York, captures the essence of lightheartedness and mischief. At the center of attention is an adorable dog who has managed to steal a fish right off the line of an unsuspecting angler. With its tail wagging triumphantly and mischievous eyes gleaming, it adds an element of hilarity to the image. The men nearby can't help but burst into laughter at this unexpected turn of events. A young boy stands beside them, holding his fishing rod with astonishment etched across his face. It seems he was about to reel in his own catch when all chaos broke loose. His wide-eyed expression perfectly reflects the sheer amusement shared by everyone present. The artist Thomas Worth masterfully portrays every detail in this lively scene – from the boys' waders and walking sticks to their baskets filled with hopes for a successful day's catch. The lithograph exudes nostalgia for carefree childhood adventures spent outdoors. This charming print from Worth's collection now resides in the Museum of the City of New York, reminding us that moments like these have been cherished throughout history. It serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes life's most memorable experiences come when we least expect them – even if it means losing
