Descripción

First edition. Illustrated by the author. 31, [1, ad] pp. Printed by the Brooklyn Eagle Press. 1 vols. 16mo. Rhead's rare, privately printed, and ephemeral work, offering a synthesis of Halford and the anglophile American dry fly authors (Gill and La Branche), specifically addressed to an American audience. His American Trout Stream Insects (1916) is regarded as the first on the subject "Rhead was a better artist than Schaldach, and in fact was an all-round expert at many things. To read him is to respect him" (Bruns). Wetzel p. 202; Bruns R49 (mistakenly dating it to 1912); Sheets (1997) R2433 ("the scarcest of Rhead's works) Original tan printed wrappers, stapled. Light stain on front wrapper along spine, rear wrapper creased with a few small closed tears, faint vertical crease throughout Illustrated by the author. 31, [1, ad] pp. Printed by the Brooklyn Eagle Press. 1 vols. 16mo.
