The Young Angler, LeBlond Oval Print
The Young Angler
A young boy fishes from a leafy bank in a peaceful country scene.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
A young hopeful is seen on the leafy bank, angling; but his age and the want of seriousness in his manners indicate that ‘tiddler-fishing’ would be more likely to render him greater sport. By his side are his little sister and a dog; the former seems concerned as to the catch, which apparently is not heavy.
SIZE, WIDTH 6 3/4 INCHES.
LENGTH 5 1/4 INCHES.
M.R. £1 7s. 6d.
The print is often unsigned; but when signed, bears both the signature of Le Blond & Co. and Elliott & Co. on the bottom centre. Prints bearing the signature of Le Blond & Co., London, only, are difficult if possible to get.
