Written and Compiled by Geoffrey Nickson, Illustrated by Tim Havers — SIGNED Limited Edition, No. 152 of 1500 — Antony Atha Publishers Ltd., 1976
A Portrait of Salmon Fishing gathers the finest writing on salmon angling — drawing on Grey of Fallodon, Scrope, Chaytor, Buchan, Sheringham, and others — alongside 37 full-page colour plates by Tim Havers, whose paintings capture well-known pools on English, Scottish, and Welsh rivers with a quiet, atmospheric eye for the river and its surrounding landscape as much as the fishing itself.
This is the signed limited edition, number 152 of 1500 copies, with the limitation page signed by both Geoffrey Nickson and Tim Havers. Bound in full leather with gilt decoration and all edges gilt, and housed in the publisher's original slipcase — a handsome production for collectors of angling literature, sporting art, and fine illustrated press editions.
Near Fine. Clean pages, tight binding, minimal signs of handling. Slipcase shows moderate edgewear, surface scratching, and rubbing consistent with handling; no structural splits observed.
