Pair Of Major Hopkins Angling Prints, Got Him! & Lost Him!.
A wonderful pair of titled fishing lithographs, Got Him! & Lost Him!, self portraits of one of the most important golf artists of the Victorian era, Major Hopkins. Hopkins is well know for his golf watercolours but he was a keen fisherman who included angling among his contributions to 'The Field' magazine and wrote and illustrated "Fishing Experiences of Half a Century". These images were published by McQueen in 1886. These are great colurful angling pictures, Got Him! shows two fishermen, one kneeling on the ground looking over the catch whilst the other is having a drink from a beaker, with a wicker creel over his back. Lost Him! shows the same fishermen, the older rod in hand looking very angry whilst the younger looks out over the river with a gaff in his hand. The detail in these pictures is quite remarkable.
