Thomas Smith of Derby - Angler of George the Second's Reign
William Hogarth - The Pascall Family, with Mr Pascall in the Act of Angling
If every man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages, he can find only one sport, varied angling, which is fit for his to practice from first childhood on into second childishness, when he may still have strength enough to hold a rod while waiting for a bite. Six of the seven ages are represented in angling pictures, and prints, and drawings; and the variable span of human life having thus, in art, its own complete angler, let us remember that Walton himself lived through the seven ages in a very fine span of ninety years, and that he was sixty when the first copies of his ever-youthful masterpiece were sold at eighteenpence, in the Mayfly season of 1653.
Freshwater fishing, again, if we look at it from a standpoint of decorative art, has one notable advantage over hunting and over racing: its charm in pictures is more likely than theirs to be homely in quiet family rooms, for it is never a spectacular charm, and its most strenuous movements have not the stress of such rapid action as that of horses and hounds., In other words, there is no reason for a picture of angling to be dominantly a sporting picture. Its authors can attain "art plus sport" without encountering those complicated difficulties which have turned a great many hunting and racing pieces into "sport plus a little art."
With these primary things before our minds, let me review my subject in its relations to great adventurers called "a good start" and "a right ending." There are great difficult questions of art-editing to be considered, and other difficult questions of literary handling; for a book on research in the history of art is really a double book...
