92323s.l. Bologna 192. . Grande manifesto a doppio foglio cadauno di cm 665 x 100. Stampato in nero e bianco su sfondo uniforme azzurro pastello. Disegnato da Umberto Tirelli raffigura Ugo Lenzi intento a pescare lungo il Reno seduto sull'angolo superiore della squadra massonica; nel retino al suo fianco un unico grosso pesce il tincone tutto attorno a lui nell'acqua tanti pesci sbeffeggiano il pescatore e l'esca da lui usata un sole sullo sfondo il panorama di Bologna. Umberto Tirelli Modena 1871 - Bologna 1954 fu caricaturista e disegnatore collaborò con numerosi giornali a carattere satirico come Il Duca Borso La Secchia Il Fittone Il Giornale delle beffe . e altri. Nel 1923 inaugurò a Bologna il suo "Teatro Nazionale delle Teste di Legno". Le teste erano a grandezza naturale costruite in cartapesta e con caratteri somatici caricaturali. A questa esperienza del disegnatore fa ripensare la grossa testa del pesce che Ugo Lenzi ha preso l'esca a forma di sole potrebbe riportare al periodo della scelta fatta dall'avvocato bolognese quando il Partito Socialista stabilì l'incompatibilità degli iscritti con la Massoneria. Sembrerebbe quindi di poter datare questo manifesto attorno agli anni '20 del XX secolo. Piccoli strappetti ai margini e una vecchia ripresa al retro ma ottimo esemplare con solo alcune righe del testo leggermente ingiallite s.l. (Bologna) unknown
1917List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown

184589396Philadelphia: G.B. Zieber & Co 1845. First Edition. Octavo. 18cm. Bound in later full bottle green morocco by Bennett of NY elaborately decorated and titled in gilt to spine and boards with geese ducks snipe etc. iv; 168pp. Strong tight and attractive very light wear slight darkening to the spine panel gilt bright; internally fresh and clean top edge gilt later marbled endpapers dampstaining to p.69 and a little thumbing in places. A very good copy indeed in a later sporting themed full leather binding. <br /> <br /> Henry Herbert was a rather tragic figure seemingly continually falling short of his own expectations of himself and who only seemed to find any sort of steady personal voice in his works under the Forester pseudonym discussing the finer arts of shooting fishing and woodland stalking. A sort of lost genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Scarce and collectable. G.B. Zieber & Co unknown

The Fisheries are the greatest and at present almost the only resource of the West of Ireland. From the loss of the potatoes as a certain means of subsistence the fiishermen would give their undivided time to the Fisheries instead of losing the best seasons by wasting their labour on a high-rented potato garden. They would thus throw an immense quantity of cured food such as Hake Cod Ling Herring Haddock and Coal Fish into the interior of the country while they could dispose of such fish as could not be cured such as Turbot Plaice Mackerel Gurnard John Dorey Ray and Soles at the markets along the coast. The cured fish even with the present limited supply brought to the markets of Westport and Newport County Mayo is sold as low as a penny per lb. free from bone green salted that is not dried and sometimes not so high as a halfpenny per lb. fresh.The company should establish stations along the coast: say they began with three one at Killibegs one at Newport Pratt and one at the Shannon Mouth.From the Store at Ballyshannon I would send fresh fish packed in Ice and also cured fish by water carriage through the Enniskillen Lakes and by the Ulster Canal on to Belfast supplying all the intermediate twons and interior of the country. Chapters in the book include for example: Herring Nets - Buoys - Mode of Curing / Curing the Herring / The Rhodry-More / The Cod Fisheries / Lobster Crab and Cray Fish / Packing Herring etc. etc. hardcover

This splendid Edwardian photo album documents the salmon fishing adventures and scenic excursions by the photographer through the pastoral Wye Valley just a few years before the outbreak of World War I. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wye River was considered to be one of the best rivers for salmon fishing in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland and this fishermen definitely enjoyed the beauty and catch to be found. These images capture a largely undeveloped and pastoral Symonds Yat and Wye Valley as it winds along the borders of Herfordshire Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Bowman has included images of side-trips along the River Monnow views of mills Llandogo the Hutsham Bridge Grosmont Castle Tintern Abbey the Devil’s Chimney at the Yat Wye Valley ruin of the Llancault Church the oldest house in Monmouth winter floods at the junction of the Monnow and the Wye Rivers winter rapids and more. Also included are scenes of salmon from the Wye the rod and reels used photos of fisherman casting into the Monnow River landing a salmon and even image of fisherman holding two large salmon while braced against a roadside hedge. The salmon fishery on the Wye held up through much of the 20th century before a precipitous decline in the 1980s and 1990s however due to extensive habitat improvement work carried out by the Wye & Usk Foundation to restore spring salmon runs the run has once again climbed but not to the levels of the early 20th century.
