BROWN TROUT & LOCH LEVEN TROUT print

These beautiful original chromolithographs of salmon, trout, sea trout, char and grayling were drawn by Francis Day, coloured from nature by Miss Florence Woolward, and chromolithographed by Messers. Hanhart.

Francis Day (1829-1889) was one of Britain’s leading ichthyologists and wrote many important papers and books relating to fish of the British Isles and southern Asia.

”Among the indigenous fishes of the British Isles, those belonging to the salmon family are universally admitted to rank second to none in value, whether regarded as food, as affording sport, or interesting objects for study…”

British and Irish Salmonidae, published in London and Edinburgh in 1887, is an in-depth study of the salmon family, the game fishes of the British Isles.
