An attractive volume from Routledge's Country Books; The Angler's Library Series, Volume IV.
Salmon and Sea Trout; How to Propagate, Preserve, and Catch Them in British Waters, by the Right Hon. Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart., M.P., F.R.S. With Illustrations by Mrs. Graham Moir, E.F.T. Bennett, The Author and Others.
Published by George Routledge and Sons, Limited, London, and E.P. Dutton & Co., New York. Printed in Great Britain. Undated, but we believe this is likely to be the first impression of the 2nd edition from 1905, following the Lawrence and Bullen 1898 first edition, due to red and black cover printing and lightly embossed cover design (?).
A very good green cloth hardback with black and red printed and embossed cover with gilt title to spine. With light wear and bumping. Soundly bound, with endpapers at inner hinges just starting to crack. Some offsetting to endpapers.
Text is bright and clear throughout, with gilt top edge. Well illustrated with line illustrations, full page black and white plates, including one fold-out of fishing hook Limerick scale, and four colour plates of fishing flies. Occasional cracking at gutters, and on a few spreads pages have some edge damage to the vertical edge, when facing pages have had to be manually separated. An attractively presented book.
Text in English.
