Sobre este artículo
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1903. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. This is No. 31 of 100 copies printed on large paper. As cornerstones in the field of big game fishing, Charles Holder's books are noted for their combination of accurate scientific detail with exciting narratives. In addition to covering the fundamentals of deep sea angling, including specific recommendations for standard rods of the time, baiting tuna hooks, etc. this volume contains dramatic accounts of fishing for black sea-bass, California barracuda, yellowtail, California sheepshead, Florida jewfish, leaping sharks, dolphin, tarpon, and Channel-bass. A legendary Southern California sportsman and civic promoter, Dr. Charles Frederick Holder (1851-1915) virtually invented the sport of big game fishing, founded the famous Tuna Club on Catalina Island, and as a leading resident of Pasadena, played a vital role in establishing the annual Tournament of Roses Parade. A volume in the American Sportsman's Library edited by Caspar Whitney. Octavo: xiv, [2], 435 p. with 8 relief halftone illustrations from paintings by C.F.W. Mielatz, line block illustrations of fish and fishing tackle, and 14 plates of relief halftone illustrations from photographs. In a one-half olive green morocco over marbled paper binding, with decorative gilt stamping, five raised bands, and matching marbled endpapers. Some minor toning and wear along the extremities; otherwise very good. Bruns, H.P.: Angling Books of the Americas, H-226; Wetzel, C.M.: American Fishing Books, p.160.
