Item description from seller

20 x 12 cm. 12mo. xi 316pp. Bound into full period leather, though more recently re-backed, with red spine labels. Housed in a custom folding box. Illustrated with a total 12 copper engraving plates which include 6 numbered plates of tackle near the front of the book and 6 of various fishes inserted throughout the work (opposite pp 127,160, 181, 223, 229, 234). There is some unfortunate water staining to the table of contents and the tackle plates. Westwood & Satchell erroneously notes that this has 18 plates as every other copy I can find for sale or in auction records as well as the Heckscher Catalogue only have 10. This copy with 2 extra plates, style between the two sets of plates is similar so it is not clear to me which are the "extra" ones. Comprehensive look at fishing with many subdivisions for various fish (e.g. Lamprey, Mullet, Char, Salmon) as well as on building and using tackles, flies, lines, other fishing equipment. References: Heckscher 2274. Hand W419. Westwood & Satchell p 241-242. …
