EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from the 19th century showcases a humorous scene of an angler catching a boot instead of a fish. The print, titled "Angler catching a boot" is part of a private collection and was created by an English School artist. The illustration originally appeared in The Boys Own Annual, published by the Boys Own Paper Office in London during 1893-1894. It depicts a young boy with his fishing line cast into the water, eagerly awaiting his catch. However, much to his surprise and amusement, he has hooked not a fish but an old boot. The image captures the joyous laughter that erupts from both the young boy and an older man standing nearby. Their infectious mirth adds to the charm of this historical artwork. Through its detailed lithography technique, this print transports us back to the late 19th century when fishing was not only about reeling in prized catches but also about unexpected surprises and shared moments of delight. Displayed in black and white, this lithograph exudes nostalgia while highlighting the skillful artistry employed by Thomas Downey. With its playful subject matter and expert execution, "Angler catching a boot" remains as timeless today as it did over a century ago.
