Folio. 75pp., + (14), (6)ff. plates. A selection of prose and poetry in celebration of angling, from authors including John Dennys, Izaak Walton, John Gay, and James A. Henshall. Illustrated throughout with wood engravings and hand-colored etchings of fish and some of the various flies used to catch them. In addition to being an artist and the founder of the Cheloniidae Press, later re-named Press of the Sea Turtle, Robinson was also a passionate fly-fisherman. Bound in quarter vellum with exposed stitching on the spine. Housed in a green raw silk box, inside of which are eighteen mounted and labeled flies hand-tied by master fly-tyer Jack Gartside, who also wrote the Afterword. Two prospectuses and letter from Robinson laid in. Spine of box a bit sunned and corners bumped, else near fine.
