Celebrate simplicity! The Compleat Angler, first published in 1653, has become a classic of English literature and a celebration of life. Most books on angling have limited appeal to those who do not fish, but The Compleat Angler inspires readers from all walks of life to search for the simplicity and serenity of the natural world. Both playful and philosophical, The Compleat Angler is not just a guide to the art of fishing but also an ode of love to the beauties of nature, good conversation, and good friends. Newly designed and printed on archival-quality paper.
When I was seventeen, I drove to Missoula, Montana, to learn how to fly-fish. The town is one of the best places to fish in the country. Rivers with names like the Bitterroot and Blackfoot crisscross the valley harboring trout the size of walruses. I spent that summer learning to cast and looking […]

The Compleat Angler (the spelling is sometimes modernised to The Complete Angler, though this spelling also occurs in first editions) is a book by Izaak Walton, first published in 1653 by Richard Marriot in London. Walton continued to add to it for a quarter of a century. It is a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing in prose and verseWalton was born in Stafford and moved to London when he was in his teens in order to learn a trade. The Compleat Angler reflects the author's connections with these two locations, especially on the River Dove, central England, that forms the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire in the Peak District. The book was dedicated to John Offley of Madeley, Staffordshire, and there are references in it to fishing in the English Midlands. However, the work begins with Londoners making a fishing trip up the Lea Valley in Hertfordshire, starting at Tottenham. Walton was not sympathetic to the Puritan regime of the 1650s and the work has been seen as a reaction to the turbulence of the English Civil War and its aftermath; \"the disorder of the present times received muted comment in the work's scenes of harmony\", is the view of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.[2] \"Study to be Quiet\" was one of Walton's favourite mottos.
ABOUT THIS CARVING Full Inscription: I have laid aside business, and gone a-fishing. - Izaak Walton Origins: Izaak Walton penned his treatise on fly fishing in 1642 and it was first published in 1653. Since then, he has become acclaimed as the “Father of Fly-fishing” and his book has become one of the most reprinted in the history of English literature. We drew inspiration for our carving from the art nouveau stylings on the cover of its 100th reprinting in 1888. We have seen this beautiful ornate leather-bound collector’s edition listed for $40,000 or so - but you can own our timeless carving for substantially less. You don’t even have to actually fish to appreciate the sentiment. The “fishing” can be anything you choose to do when you’ve “given up business” (temporarily or permanently). A perfect retirement gift or for display in the vacation home. Source: The Compleat Angler, 1653 Recommended Finish: Our lighter toned Classic Oak finish works with many interiors and finishes and helps to create greater contrast to show off the many carving details of this piece to best advantage as well as helping to improve readability at greater distance. However, the Vintage Cherry finish is nice as well, offering a lighter look often found in the more casual interiors often associated with fishing and the outdoors.

Oil on canvas. Polish painter and draughtsman. He spent his early years in Odessa and Kiev, subsequently living in France, in particular in Paris, where he studied under the Polish portrait painter Tadeusz Gorecki (1825-68), continuing (1868-71) at the Akademie der Kunste in Munich. In 1871 he moved to Krakow where he studied until 1875 under Jan Matejko at the School of Fine Arts. During ten years in Krakow he produced many striking portraits. In the portrait of Mrs Fedorowicz (1878; Krakow, N. Mus.) he achieved subtle effects of modelling by means of carefully differentiated tones and meticulously distributed light. The Realism of these portraits is subsumed into an advanced proto-Impressionist technique, on occasion using both small patches of distinct colour and broadly applied areas of impasto. Alongside such works, Pruszkowski produced paintings based on fantastic legends, fables and folk-tales. In these works one can trace influences going back to the artist's Munich period; but Pruszkowski's essentially Romantic vision translated his subjects into an entirely Polish context, as in Midsummer's Night (1875; Warsaw, N. Mus.) and Water Nymphs (1877; Krakow, N. Mus.). In 1882 Pruszkowski moved to the village of Mnikow outside Krakow, where he worked in the isolation he believed essential for creative activity. Contact with the country people, however, provided him with themes for his work; alongside his fantastic and legendary subjects he painted genre scenes of peasant life. He brought to his subjects a diversity of means of formal depiction, from the realistic to the near visionary. However, there are notable recurrent motifs, for example the image of the native willow, the symbolic haunt of spirits, as in Willow on Marshland (1892; Lodz, Mus. A.). The visionary element achieved its apogee in the pastel compositions from the last years of his life. In works such as Death of Ellenai (1892; Wroclaw, N. Mus.) the evanescent nature of forms is expressed through restrained colour schemes, generally tending towards silvery greyish azure or shades of pink. These works draw their inspiration from the writings of the great Polish Romantic poets, in particular Juliusz Slowacki and Zygmunt Krasinski, and constitute a compelling link between Pruszkowski and the painters of the Young Poland (Mloda Polska) group. Pruszkowski was also an excellent draughtsman in a variety of media: charcoal, chalk, pencil and ink.

From SAVEUR Issue #138 When I was a teenager, sometimes on summer nights, my friend Joe Haines and I would catch eels, wading into a tidal creek where flounder and crabs scuttled over the mud and sand flats. I'd hold the bucket, and Joe would wield a tridentlike eel spear, not impaling the eels, but pinning them between the tines. The beam of my flashlight cut through the wavelets to the creek bottom, where eels would appear as if out of nowhere, mysterious and sinuous.Keep reading »
