FISHING IN WALES: A GUIDE TO THE ANGLER. By Walter M. Gallichan ("Geoffrey Mortimer"). First edition.
1903 1st edition. Small 8vo (125 x 189mm). Ppviii,208 + 4pp ads. Frontispiece portrait photograph. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt, gilt title and design of angler on upper board.
This comprehensive guide to trout fishing in Wales has never been superceded. In particular Gallichan's first-hand descriptions of angling in the mountain lakes of Wales are still the main reference on the subject. The upper board sports a handsome gilt design of an angler, based on a studio portrait of Gallichan himself (itself used as the frontispiece). This image was also used on the covers of "Fishing And Travel In Spain" and "Fishing In Derbyshire And Around," providing a unifying theme for the series.
