FISHING ON THE NORFOLK BROADS fishing print 1885
This very fine engraving, with superb recent professional hand colouring of anglers fishing on the Norfolk Broads, is from the weekly publication, "The Illustrated London News," published in 1885.
"The Illustrated London News" was the world's first illustrated newspaper which began publication in 1842 and ran for over one hundred and sixty years until it ceased production in 2003.
Known for its rich collection of world news, arts and culture, and political events, it often featured very fine drawings such as this tranquil lake scene on one of Britain's most renowned fishing waters.
