EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, titled "Competition in Aid of the Anglers Benevolent Fund" takes us back to a chilly winter day on December 18th. The scene is set at Langley Bridge on the Slough Canal, where anglers from far and wide have gathered for a roving competition. As the chairman of the competition committee gives his final instructions, participants eagerly prepare their fishing kits and examine their gear with an experienced eye. The air is filled with excitement as competitors start making their way to their designated swims along the canal. The North Star shines brightly above them, guiding them through this friendly yet fiercely competitive tournament. Artists and art enthusiasts alike are captivated by this picturesque view, immortalizing it in works of art. As they detrain from various locations, each angler has his own strategy in mind to catch that valuable fish which will secure victory. A group of friends huddle together near a warming fire while discussing tactics and sharing stories about previous competitions. In addition to human companionship, nature's creatures also make an appearance in this print. Sea birds and other fowls gracefully glide over the water surface as if cheering on these skilled anglers. This artwork serves not only as a celebration of angling but also as a means to raise funds for the Anglers Benevolent Fund - an organization dedicated to supporting fishermen in need. It reminds us that even amidst fierce competition, camaraderie and support can be found among buddies united by their love for fishing and wildlife conservation.
