Angler Corner Facades Izaak Places Walton
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 1852 photograph, we find ourselves transported back in time to the bustling streets of 17th-century London. The scene is set on Fleet Street, a historic area renowned for its literary and journalistic heritage. Among the crowd, third from the corner, stands a distinguished figure with an air of wisdom and tranquility - Izaak Walton (1593-1683), the celebrated English writer and angler. The photograph captures the charm and character of this iconic location, with its intricate facades, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages. The pavement is filled with people going about their daily business, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the city. Izaak Walton's home, a humble abode nestled among these impressive structures, serves as a testament to the simple pleasures of life during this era. Walton, known for his literary works, particularly "The Compleat Angler," was a man of many interests. His love for angling was legendary, and he is often regarded as one of the founding figures of modern angling. In this photograph, he is depicted in his element, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of urban life, yet seemingly at peace with the world. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and culture of a bygone era. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring appeal of literature, angling, and the simple joys of life, even amidst the chaos of a bustling city. This image, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for any history or literature enthusiast, providing a window into the world of Izaak Walton and the enchanting streets of 17th-century Fleet Street.
