"Trout Fishing" by Lester G. Hornby, Amer., (1882-1955) Fresco on cream wove japan paperDrypoint, ca 1923, ed. of possibly 40 but unknown, not in Falk, 7 3 4 x 11 3 4, signed and titled in pencil, on thin cream laid paper. The number 40 is written in pencil possibly in Hornby's hand in the lower right margin corner. While it's uncertain if this pertains to the edition size, it might, and is there, so worth documenting. A very rich impression, in fine condition of this bold and uncommon sporting subject by Hornby.
