Allen Gordon. First book edition of an essay originally published in 1875; No. 19 of 55 copies signed by Ledlie the printer Darrell Hyder and Wood. With seven etchings by Gordon Allen who printed and has numbered and signed each plate. 1 vols. Folio 14 x 11 inches. No effort has been spared to make this book in the words of the publisher "one which would add to the genre and go on to become a valued and sought-after volume". Printed letterpress by Darrell Hyder The Sun Hill Press on heavyweight French Rives paper each etching numbered and signed by the artist elegantly bound by one of America's foremost binders this is a labor of love well worthy of the author of "The Ristigouche". <br /> <br /> The text is taken from an article written by Dean Sage for the August 1875 issue of the Atlantic Monthly: it was Sage's first literary effort he was then 34 and describes his first encounter with Salmo salar on two tributaries of the legendary Ristigouche. The article was prompted by Sage's friends Samuel Clemens Mark Twain and Atlantic editor William Dean Howells to whom posterity--as will be seen by the reader of this sumptuous work--owes a debt of thanks. <br /> <br /> IMPRESSIVE.

A book of almost legendary beauty rarity and importance recounting the author's adventures at Camp Harmony on the Restigouche River in New Brunswick and drawing upon his long experience fishing the river.<br /> <br /> Dean Sage's contributions to angling literature are few in number but profoundly influential: "Ten Days' Sport on Salmon Rivers" published in the Atlantic in 1875 is a classic account. His library catalogue 2 vols. 1896 1904 remains an important document in the history of angling bibliography and collecting. Sage's section on "The Atlantic Salmon" in Salmon and Trout 1902 is a synthesis of his own first hand knowledge as a fisherman and his assessment of the extensive literature. The Ristigouche and Its Salmon Fishing remains the work for which Sage is best known.<br /> <br /> One of the pinnacles of nineteenth century fishing book design and production with the notable provenance of financier Jay Gould. Sage who lived in Albany would have known Gould from equestrian circles as both men maintained stables of trotting horses and bred Morgan horses.
