EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the world of French artificial fishing flies. The image showcases a meticulously catalogued collection of vibrant and intricately designed flies, each one crafted with precision and artistry. These flies were specifically created to entice fish during the seasonal sport of angling. The array of colours on display is truly mesmerizing, ranging from vivid blues and greens to fiery reds and oranges. Each fly resembles an insect in its own unique way, mimicking nature's allure to attract various species of fish. It is fascinating to see how these delicate creations were carefully arranged for both practical use and aesthetic appreciation. While this photograph does not delve into commercial aspects or mention any specific company, it highlights the passion that amateur anglers had for their craft during this era. Fishing was not merely a means of catching fish; it was an art form that required skillful technique and knowledge. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the timeless appeal that fishing holds as a recreational activity across cultures worldwide. Whether it be Japanese fly-fishing techniques or Halford's influence on salmon angling, this print encapsulates the beauty and tradition associated with this beloved pastime.
