EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wonderful England: Fishing" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the early 20th century. Created by Mary Francis Ames, it beautifully captures the essence of English river fishing and evokes a sense of history, literature, and national pride. The image depicts a serene riverside scene where an angler stands in knee-deep water wearing waders. With a mischievous smile on his face, he holds up his fishing rod as if proudly showcasing his catch. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to this humorous moment, highlighting the playful nature of fishing. This artwork is not only visually appealing but also carries deeper meanings. It represents an era when literature played an important role in shaping national identity and promoting imperialistic ideals. The illustration was originally created for "Wonderful England! or, The Happy Land!" by Mrs Ernest Ames - a book that aimed to celebrate all things quintessentially English. Through its combination of historical context and comic elements, this print appeals not only to art enthusiasts but also to those interested in British culture and heritage. It serves as a delightful reminder of simpler times when children would eagerly join their parents or friends for outdoor adventures along picturesque riversides. Bridgeman Images has done justice in preserving this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection so that we can continue appreciating its charm for generations to come.
