Taxidermy, Preserved Fish, Cased Roach.
A cased roach in a nice bow fronted case with gilt lines and writing. The case contains a cleverly modelled roach set against a painted backdrop with realistic river bed setting. The glass front with gilded gold leaf writing 'Roach, Taken by Mr. F.W. Stocker at Amberley 7th August 1910. Wgt 1lb 13¼oz's'. Taxidermist unknown but well executed.
Bow front cases are more sought after than any other type, the float glass shows off the fish nicely and gives a greater impression of water.
