MERMAID FLIES.
ND (post 1921). Landscape format sewn paperback (248 x 190mm). Pp20. 16 good colour plates of flies on 8 leaves and a full page b/w plate of hooks on the inside rear cover. Card covers.
Published in 1921 or later, because it refers to the "Plumage Bill" potentially leading to a shortage of fly-tying materials. The Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act came into force in 1921. The sixteen colour plates of flies used in so many of Ogden Smiths' catalogues are present, displayed two to a page, but they are not used in their numbered order, implying that they had previously been used (in the correct order) in an earlier publication. They are used in their correct order in all catalogues between 1932 and 1957.
