EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fishing: Live Baiting Slapton Ley" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of angling history. The print showcases an English School's illustration for H Cholmondeley-Pennell's book "Fishing" from 1889. In this scene, we witness the artistry and skill of an angler engaged in live baiting at Slapton Ley. With his fishing rod poised and ready, he patiently waits for a fish to take the bait. The tranquility of the surrounding nature is palpable as birds soar above and gentle ripples disturb the water's surface. The artist masterfully captures not only the sport but also highlights the historical significance of this method. Live baiting was a popular technique used by anglers during that era to entice larger fish species. This lithograph serves as a window into both recreational pastimes and wildlife preservation efforts. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when fishing was more than just catching fish; it was about connecting with nature and honing one's skills as an angler. This artwork reminds us of our timeless fascination with these majestic creatures and our desire to immerse ourselves in their world. With its rich historical context and stunning depiction of wildlife, "Fishing: Live Baiting Slapton Ley" is not just a visual delight but also an invitation to appreciate our relationship with animals and indulge in outdoor recreation.
