EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the serene countryside of Nottingham in 1953. The image showcases a rectangular covered counter-card from Players Tobacco and Cigarettes, featuring a reproduction of an aquatint titled "Trolling for pike on the River Lea 1831" by R. G. Reeve after James Pollard. In this picturesque scene, we see two gentlemen indulging in one of their favorite country pursuits - fishing for pike. Dressed impeccably in top hats and sporting jackets, they stand on the banks of the tranquil River Lea, eagerly awaiting their catch. The lush greenery surrounding them adds to the idyllic charm of this moment captured in time. The print not only highlights the beauty of nature but also serves as an advertisement for John Player and Sons tobacco company. However, let's focus solely on appreciating its artistic value rather than its commercial use. As we gaze at this remarkable photograph, it transports us to a simpler era where leisurely activities like fishing provided solace amidst bustling city life. It reminds us of the joy found in reconnecting with nature and taking part in timeless traditions passed down through generations. Whether you're an angler yourself or simply appreciate nostalgic glimpses into history, this print is sure to evoke feelings of tranquility and admiration for both artistry and nature's wonders.
