About this Item
Description:
A smart copy of the first Bagster edition of Isaac Walton and Charles Cotton's noted and influential celebration of fishing, The Complete Angler. With the scarce publisher's adverts. 'The Compleat Angler' is Izaak Walton's best known work. It was edited and expanded by Walton for over a quarter of a century. The work is a celebration of fishing through prose and verse.The second part of this work is written by Walton's friend and fellow angler, Charles Cotton. This is the seventh edition of the work, and the first edition to be edited by Bagster. Bagster was the founder of the publishing firm 'Bagster and Sons'. He is notable for his polyglot bibles. With the lives of the authors by Sir John Hawkins as called for. From the library of Charles Montogmery Rivaz. Rivaz' bookplate to the front pastedown and his inscription to the front endpaper. Rivaz was a British India Colonial Administrator. Following his name to the recto of the front endpaper Rivaz quotes Walton from this work 'and 1st the blessing of St Maters' Master, he upon all that are lovers of virtue, and dare trust in his Providence, and be quiet and go angling'. With a frontispiece of Izaak Walton, Charles Cotton and Sir John Hawkins. Engraved half-title and fourteen plates by Audinet. Two music plates and several in-text fishing engravings. Two woodcuts. Collated, complete with the scarce publisher's adverts. A very smart copy of this work. In a full calf binding with gilt stamping to the spine and to the board edges. Externally, generally smart with patches of rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. The gilt to the spines has faded slightly. Split to the rear joint, with the hinge starting but firm. Bookplate to the front pastedown, Charles Montgomery Rivaz. His notes to the recto of front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with just the odd scattered spots to pages. Very Good Indeed. Seller Inventory # 673L2
