1888 Norwegian Sketches Fishing in Strange Waters
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The very scarce first edition of this work.
Illustrated with thirty-two plates. Collated, complete.
In this delightful work, Kennard illustrates scenes from his own life and observations made while he fished in Norway in the late nineteenth century.
These angling scenes are charmingly humorous.
Without the advertisements to the rear.
A second edition of this work was published the following year, and is also very scarce.
