EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Angling Incident" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a humorous and eventful moment. The image showcases an angler's great catch turning into an unexpected adventure. As night falls, the scene is illuminated by moonlight, creating a picturesque setting. In the morning light, we witness the aftermath of this angling experience. The angler appears safe but slightly disheveled after encountering various challenges during his fishing expedition. His military background suggests he may have expected a more controlled situation. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos that ensued as wasps and mosquitoes swarmed around him while he attempted to kill bait for his fishing endeavor. Little did he know that disturbing a nearby wasp nest would lead to even worse consequences. As if in a vision or daydream, we can imagine this incident unfolding during a parade or camping trip in Malta. This European backdrop adds depth to the narrative and highlights cultural diversity within Europe. Through this artwork, viewers are reminded of the unpredictability of nature and how even seemingly innocent activities like angling can take unexpected turns. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this amusing slice of history for all art enthusiasts to enjoy without any commercial use intentions mentioned in its caption.
