1653 Angler Bank Compleat Complete Pastoral Rods Walton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print, titled "Compleat Angler / Bank," transports us back in time to the pastoral beauty of the early 17th century. Published for the first time in 1653, this historical image captures the essence of a serene moment along the banks of a tranquil river. Izaak Walton, a renowned English writer and angler, is depicted in the scene, engrossed in his beloved hobby. The Compleat Angler, a book Walton authored, is famously known for its profound influence on the sport of fishing and literature. The title of the print reflects the publication of this seminal work, which has captivated anglers and readers alike for centuries. In the image, Walton is shown seated on the riverbank, surrounded by the paraphernalia of his craft. His rod is poised, ready for a potential catch, while his trusty tome rests nearby. The peaceful setting is further enhanced by the presence of a companion dog, a common motif in pastoral literature and art. The Compleat Angler / Bank print offers a glimpse into a simpler time, where the pursuit of knowledge and the enjoyment of nature were intertwined. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the past, and the timeless allure of the riverbank and the art of angling.
