"The Flyfisher", by W. Hunt, in the winter exhibition of the Water-colour Society, 1862. Engraving of a painting. A '...young hero of rustic life...catching a fly for piscatorial purposes...This "Fly-fisher'' is one of Mr. Hunt's happiest efforts. How characteristic is the boy's figure from head to foot, with his stiff holland smockfrock, out-grown corduroys, Scotch cap, and hobnailed shoes! What visions of glorious sport with minnow and stickleback have haunted his mind since he possessed himself of that rod! How natural the attitude, as he stealthily pauses before the grand swoop on the pretty little fly which will float so temptingly on the water! How the concentration of the young angler's - we beg pardon, we should say "scientific flyfisher's" - whole soul is depicted in his gleaming, eager eyes, his breathlessly-dilated nostrils!'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flyfisher" by W. Hunt, showcased in the winter exhibition of the Water-colour Society in 1862, captures a moment of pure concentration and anticipation in the young angler's eyes. The engraving beautifully depicts a 'young hero of rustic life' as he prepares to catch a fly for his piscatorial pursuits. From head to foot, every detail of the boy's figure is meticulously portrayed - from his stiff holland smockfrock to his out-grown corduroys and Scotch cap.
The artist, W. Hunt, has truly captured the essence of this scene with such precision that one can almost feel the excitement radiating from the young angler as he stealthily pauses before making his grand swoop on the pretty little fly floating temptingly on the water. His gleaming eyes and breathlessly-dilated nostrils speak volumes about his dedication to this sport.
This engraving is indeed one of Mr. Hunt's happiest efforts, showcasing not just a simple act of fishing but also delving into the emotions and passion behind it. It transports viewers back to a simpler time when catching minnows and sticklebacks brought immense joy and satisfaction to those who pursued this age-old pastime.
