Angling and Art in Scotland by Ernest Edward Briggs Pdf
Excerpt from Angling and Art in Scotland: Some Fishing Experiences Related and Illustrated Although this book is entitled "Angling and Art in Scotland," it must not be thought that it is in any way a treatise upon painting. A parallel is drawn between the art of the angler and that of the landscape painter which is, to my mind, very real and ever present; but there, as far as the writing of the book goes, the matter ends; for I have devoted my space to the narration of certain angling experiences and descriptions of scenery which, I hope, may be of interest not only to the angler but to the general reader, and have left my pictures to speak for themselves as illustrative of the kindred art of landscape painting.
