EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, titled "Fishing: The Trollers Knife" we are transported back to the 19th century and immersed in the world of angling. The print showcases an English School masterpiece from a private collection, capturing the essence of history and wildlife. The image portrays a scene of anticipation and skill as an angler prepares for his fishing expedition. A wooden crate filled with various tools sits beside him, hinting at the meticulousness required for success in this sport. With a focused gaze, he holds up a troller's knife - an essential instrument used by fishermen during that era. This litho is actually an illustration from H Cholmondeley-Pennell's book "Fishing" published in 1889. It beautifully captures one moment within its pages, showcasing how anglers would bait their hooks using minnows or other small creatures. The troller's knife serves multiple purposes here - it acts as both a needle for threading bait onto hooks and as a blade for crimping lines. Every detail is meticulously depicted; even the smallest components like disgorger prickers and knot separators are included to ensure accuracy. Feathers lie nearby, suggesting their use as lures to attract fish. This artwork transports us into another time when fishing was not just about catching fish but also about mastering technique and appreciating nature's beauty. Through this print, we can almost feel the excitement building within ourselves as we imagine embarking on our own angling adventure.
