EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures a unique moment in history, as Izaak Walton immerses himself in the worlds of both fishing and mathematics. Taken in 1936 by renowned artist Rene Bull, this colour litho showcases Walton studying the angles of Euclid while indulging his passion for angling. Izaak Walton, an English writer celebrated for his famous work "The Compleat Angler" is depicted here with a fishing rod in hand, surrounded by serene nature. However, instead of solely focusing on catching fish, he appears engrossed in Euclidean geometry – a surprising combination that adds an element of humor to the scene. Part of a series called Howlers produced for Churchman's cigarettes, this vintage card cleverly merges advertising with artistry. It playfully highlights the unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated pursuits like fishing and mathematics. Bull's attention to detail brings out the charm and nostalgia inherent in this image. The vibrancy of colors enhances the overall appeal while capturing the essence of early 17th-century England when Izaak Walton lived. Whether you are an angler or a lover of art and history, this print offers a delightful glimpse into Izaak Walton's world. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our hobbies and passions, there is always room for curiosity and exploration across various disciplines – be it through studying angles or casting lines into tranquil waters.
