EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "ANGLER, 1496" takes us back in time to medieval England, where the art of fishing with an angle was skillfully practiced. The print is a reproduction from Dame Juliana Barnes' Treatise of Fishing with an Angle, which was included in the renowned Book of St. Albans and printed by Wynkyn de Worde at Westminster in 1496. The scene depicted showcases a picturesque river setting with a majestic castle looming in the background. A fisherman, adorned in traditional attire and wearing a hat to shield himself from the sun's rays, stands on the riverbank holding his fishing rod. With great expertise and precision, he casts his line into the water hoping for a bountiful catch. The attention to detail within this woodcut is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this late medieval marine scene. The fisherman's concentration is palpable as he patiently waits for his prey while balancing a bucket nearby to hold his potential haul. This artwork not only captures an essential aspect of English history but also serves as a testament to the timeless allure of angling. It reminds us that fishing has been cherished throughout centuries as both a recreational activity and means of sustenance. As we gaze upon this woodcut print, we are transported back through time, appreciating both its historical significance and artistic beauty.
