THE COMPLEAT ANGLER OR, CONTEMPLATIVE MAN'S RECREATION. By Izaak Walton. The First Black Facsimile. Coigney 298. Third issue.

(1653) 1928 First Black Facsimile Edition (Coigney 298). 12mo (95 x 147mm). Ppxx,246. Woodcut illustrations. Full brown sheepskin leather, spine not titled, blind-rules to boards and spine, page-edges speckled pink. Issue C. The first issue had an error in the word Churcheyard at the foot of the title page. It should have been Church-yard, and was corrected in subsequent printings. This possible third issue has a heavier cream dust-wrapper, the speckling of the page-edges is in a dark brown or purple, and the card of the slipcase shows a coarser weave than other copies seen. Although dated as Coigney 298 it appears much newer.

Reproduced from the copy of the first edition in the Grenville collection of the British Museum. Coigney 440. The Third Black Facsimile. A reprint of the First Black facsimile of 1928.
