EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1496 showcases an angler engrossed in the art of fishing. Taken from Dame Juliana Barnes' renowned Treatise of Fishing with an Angle, this image is a testament to the timeless pursuit of this ancient sport. The angler, donning a traditional English hat, stands at the edge of a picturesque river, surrounded by medieval architecture and the majestic walls of St. Albans Castle. With great skill and precision, he holds his fishing rod aloft, ready to cast his line into the glistening waters below. His bucket sits nearby, patiently awaiting its purpose - to hold any prized catches that may come his way. This scene transports us back to late 15th century England when fishing was not only a means for sustenance but also a beloved pastime. The woodcut technique used in this print adds depth and texture to every stroke, capturing the essence of both man and nature in exquisite detail. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that distant era where men honed their angling skills amidst serene riverside landscapes. ANGLER serves as a reminder that despite centuries passing since its creation, the joy and tranquility found in casting one's line remain universal throughout time. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how our ancestors embraced nature's beauty while pursuing their passions on those idyllic riverbanks so long ago.
