1784 Complete Angler Fishing Hunting Angling Fish Trout Cotton Walton Hawkins

Charles Cotton and Izaak Walton’s ‘The Complete Angler’ was an important and extremely popular game and hunting book from 1653. Walton sought to celebrate the everyday fisherman and hunter, providing tips, tricks, and first-hand observations on fishing, and hunting through the lens of a conversation between two fictional anglers.

This 1784 edition includes woodcut illustrations most of which depict fish and fishing tackle. It was edited by John Hawkins, and the Hawkins editions are some of the best of all ‘Angler’ editions.
