' THE ANGLER'S COMPANION.' A friend
has favoured me with the loan of an angling
relic of considerable value and interest to
Waltonians. It has been in his family for
many years, and he believes it came down
to him from his great-grandfather.
It is a large cream silk handkerchief, measuring 3 ft. by 2 ft. 9 in., and has been carefully repaired in places where time or moth has injured it. Running round it is an inch-and-a-half border, divided into oblong compartments. At the foot in large letters is the title * The Angler's Companion' (sine n. et L), flanked with some bars from the air of ' The Angler's Song.' Continuing the border on the left side are five instruc- tions under " Flies " ; five under " Pastes," extending to the top ; seven under" Worms" and eight down the right side under "Fishes and Insects." In the centre of the hand- kerchief is a portrait of Izaak Walton (giving dates of birth and death) against a back- ground of foliage, and high up a large urn on which are the words " Piscato[ribus] Sacrum " ; along the bottom is arranged fishing tackle. The remainder of the body of the handkerchief is filled up with about two dozen ovals, on which are printed pic- tures of various freshwater fish, in each case giving the months to fish and the bait to use for each sort of fish as well as the kind of rivers where they are to be found, also numbers referring to the meticulous instruc- tions in the border. The whole is printed in a light brown.
I have consulted the best edition of Westwood and Satchell's ' Bibliotheca Pis- catoria ' and other authorities without finding any reference to this silk broadside, although a paper broadside called ' The Angler's Assist- ant ' i? duly described.
The general character of the type and the pictures of fish, &c., induce me to think it may date back to the Johnsonian period, when the great doctor revived an interest in Walton's writings, and his contemporaries the Rev. Moses Browne and Sir John Hawkins piously reprinted ' The Compleat Angler.' I should like to learn something about it, and to know whether other examples have survived. C. ELKIN MATHEWS.
