Angler Angling Bait Bite Circles Patience Rewarded Striking Takes 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Bite," is a humorous yet poignant reminder of the patience and perseverance required in the world of angling. Drawn in 1925, the image, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, depicts a man fishing with bated breath as a bird takes the bait right from under his nose. The expression on his face is a perfect blend of surprise, disappointment, and amusement. Angling, a popular pastime and sport, has long been known for testing the limits of one's patience. The thrill of the catch is often the reward for hours spent in quiet contemplation by the water's edge. This cartoon, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of that experience in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The man in the cartoon, dressed in period attire, is a familiar sight in angling circles. He wears a felt hat, a long coat, and waders, all essential gear for a day spent by the river. His rod is bent, indicating that he has had a bite, but the unexpected visitor has stolen his catch. The bird, with a smug expression, flies away with the bait in its beak. Despite the setback, the angler maintains a sense of humor about the situation. The cartoon's witty commentary on the unexpected twists and turns of angling adds to its enduring appeal. The image is a striking example of the humorous side of a pastime that requires a great deal of patience and dedication. In conclusion, "The Bite" is a charming and humorous cartoon that captures the essence of angling and the rewards that come with patience and perseverance. This historical image, published in 1925, continues to resonate with anglers and non-anglers alike, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of this popular pastime.
