The Complete Angler – Izaak Walton & Charles Cotton – 1844. Edited by John Major (stated 4th edition on title but actually the 6th), the last edition published in his lifetime. With 54 text and full-page engravings, including frontispiece. Published by Bogue and Wix. In a stunning angling fine binding from Bayntun, Bath, England. Full leather with gilt lettering, accents, and angling-related depictions, such as fish, flies, and a creel. Gilt page edges, and a golden silk page marker. Green leather transitions to brown at spine, which looks on purpose but may be fading, of sorts. Marbled EPs. Some light foxing occasionally. VG+ condition. The book is exactly as pictured. Any questions, please ask.
