About This Item
London: William Pickering, 1836. First edition. Lithographic frontispiece and numerous vignettes. vii, 255, [40] pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Full olive green morocco, covers gilt with angling motifs, t.e.g. by Wood. Heckscher bookplates (3); morocco label of R. A. Williams. Rebacked, spine laid down. Toned to brown. First edition. Lithographic frontispiece and numerous vignettes. vii, 255, [40] pp. 1 vols. 12mo. The Birth of Angling Bibliography: Heckscher Copy. More "the result of paste and scissors" (Westwood & Satchell) than a coherent text, but redeemed by the groundbreaking bibliography of angling books prepared by Pickering, who states in the Catalogue that it "is formed upon Sir Henry Ellis's corrected copy of the list, which he contributed to the British Bibliographer in 1811, and which he kindly lent for the purpose.". Westwood & Satchell, pp. 19-20; Keynes, William Pickering, p. 54; Heckscher 243 (this copy)
