FOREWORD 
 
 FOR the purposes of this collection, book plates 
 showing any of the following attributes have 
 been gathered together : 
 
 Primarily, plates showing an angling scene, such 
 as an angler or fisherman engaged in his sport. 
 
 Secondly, any of the various articles used in the 
 sport of angling or fishing: a fishing rod, a fish pole, 
 rod case, gaff hook, landing net, creel, reel, line, 
 leaders, box for leaders, float, hooks, spoon and 
 double and triple, bait, bait box or can, artificial flies 
 on gut or on eyed hooks, fly book, eyed fly box, and 
 various receptacles for "liquid bait," from the 
 homely "little brown jug" to the aristocratic silver 
 flask ; salmon, eel and fish spears, nets, seines, lobster 
 pots, eel pots, and various basketwork fish-traps. 
 
 Thirdly, copies of "The Compleat Angler," first or 
 other editions, copies of other well-known angling 
 and fishing books, portraits of Walton, quotations 
 from him and other angling writers, angling mottoes. 
 
 Fourthly, plates showing the so-called sporting 
 fish,— salmon, tarpon, tuna, trout, grayling, etc.; 
 plates showing coarse fish caught with rod and line 
 or hand line, such as cod, eels, flounders, perch, 
 pickerel, pike, etc. 
 
FOREWORD 
 
 Book plates exist showing one or more of all the 
 above-mentioned objects. Some owners have been 
 so egotistical as to have their own portraits, en- 
 graved by celebrated artists and engravers, upon 
 their book plates. In some cases, and most success- 
 fully, the aid of the camera has been evoked, and 
 there are many plates with charming scenes of 
 woodland wilds and tumbling brooks, which show 
 the owner of the plate variously engaged in casting, 
 striking, playing, or landing his fish, and others 
 which represent him peacefully sitting or reclining 
 under the shade of a friendly tree, sometimes intent 
 upon his book, at others asleep, in both cases the 
 world and fish forgot. 
 
 Many of these more modern plates made for the de- 
 votees of the gentle "Iz. Wa." show delightfully en- 
 graved views of their favorite fishing places; these 
 generally have in addition trophies of rod and reel, 
 creel, landing net or gafif hooks to emphasize the 
 owner's preference for the gentle sport. 
 
 Many plates exhibit their owner's preference for 
 one particular fish. Thus we find plates with trout, 
 tarpon and tuna, others with pike, perch, etc., and 
 several with mixed lots of fish. In several plates 
 are shown a copy of "The Compleat Angler." Some- 
 times the owner, proud of his possession, exhibits 
 other volumes of even greater rarity than the "First 
 Walton." One angler exhibits his preference for 
 fly-fishing, another boldly stands with the tell-tale 
 little box of worms hanging to his creel strap. 
 
FOREWORD 
 
 Book plates of this description have been done by 
 all the most celebrated book-plate designers and en- 
 gravers, Bewick did a number of angling book 
 plates, and his charming woodcuts have been adapted 
 by later engravers, many times without due credit. 
 
 "Canting or allusive (punning) arms are coats-of- 
 arms whose figures allude to the names, professions, 
 etc., of the bearers; as three trout for Troutbeck, 
 salmon for Salmon, pike for Pyke, tunny for Tonna, 
 sturgeon for Sturgeon, etc. 
 
 "Such arms have been ig^orantly described by some 
 writers as of an inferior order, whereas there can 
 scarcely be a greater proof of their antiquity and 
 highly honorable character." 
 
 A few of these punning, or canting arms, or armes 
 parlantes, as they are variously called, are to be 
 found among this collection of angling plates. 
 
 Enough has been said to show what an attractive 
 branch is open to collectors who specialize in certain 
 kinds of book plates.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
 
 In this catalogue the following uses have been adopted : 
 
 Entries are arranged alphabetically under the surnames 
 of the owners, but appear in the form found upon 
 the book plates, together with "ex libris," or other 
 designation of ownership. 
 
 The word "signed" refers to the signature of the artist, 
 and, unless otherwise qualified, to a printed signature. 
 
 Brackets are used to signify the insertion of names or 
 letters not appearing in printed signatures. Unless 
 described as "signed," it will be understood that, al- 
 though the name of the artist may be stated, it is not 
 printed upon the plate. 
 
 The word "autographed" refers to the signature of the 
 owner of the.plate. The "handing" is described heral- 
 dically (book plates having been primarily heraldic), 
 the word "dexter" referring to the side of the print 
 nearest to the left hand of the spectator, etc. 
 
 Measurements are given in inches, with the height 
 placed first, and refer to the printed portion of the 
 plate, regardless of plate marks, and not including 
 remarques. 
 
 "Trial proof" means an impression pulled to show the 
 progress of the work upon the plate. 
 
 "Proof" means an impression printed with more than 
 usual care, or upon paper differing in some respect 
 (other than color) from that of the ordinary edition. 
 Unless otherwise stated, it will be understood that 
 proofs are on Japan vellum paper. 
 
 Entries not qualified as proofs or trial proofs refer to 
 ordinary impressions. Entries consisting of letters 
 only (b, c, etc.) refer to ordinary impressions.

 Dr. Cotton's library was sold at Sotheby's on 
 Dec. 20, 1838. It contained one of the three 
 known copies of Samuel Gardiner's "Booke 
 of Angling," which at the sale brought only 
 £4:2:0. He thought it to be unique and so 
 noted on the fly leaf of the book. This copy 
 was in the Huth Library, recently dispersed, 
 another is in the Bodleian, and a third is in 
 the Fearing Collection now in the Harvard 
 College Library.

 It is a pity that this charming plate should be a 
 fictitious one, made to delude collectors. As 
 far as can be ascertained, there is no such 
 person as Grace Birch Fisher. This plate and 
 several others of the same fictitious character 
 were made for the person who paid the artist, 
 for purposes best known to himself. They 
 were illustrated in The Book Plate Quarterly 
 for December, 1917, and were the cause of 
 much unfavorable comment.
