1593 1683 Angler Izaak Pater Walton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Izaak Walton, the renowned English writer and angler, immortalized as Pater Piscatorum or Father of Fishers. The photograph, taken in 1683, depicts Walton in his element, standing by a tranquil body of water with a fishing rod in hand. Walton's love for angling is evident in his classic work, "The Compleat Angler," published in 1653, which has been celebrated as a literary masterpiece and a cornerstone of angling literature. Born in 1593, Walton led an eventful life that spanned the tumultuous 17th century. He was a contemporary of the great poet John Donne and the philosopher Francis Bacon, and his writings reflect the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time. Walton's works encompassed a wide range of genres, from poetry and prose to biography and travel writing. However, it was his passion for angling that truly set him apart. In "The Compleat Angler," Walton not only shared his expertise on fishing techniques and equipment but also imparted wisdom on the art of angling as a means of relaxation, reflection, and communion with nature. The book became a bestseller and has remained a beloved classic for over three centuries. This photograph of Walton, taken in the twilight of his life, captures the serene and contemplative spirit that infused his writing. With a gentle smile and a thoughtful gaze, Walton embodies the timeless allure of angling and the enduring connection between man and nature.
