Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

ONE OF 65 COPIES (approx.), portrait frontispiece, four photographic plates, with 164 hackles mounted between perspex and framed in 11 loose mounts, with captions, mounts slightly warped (as usual), two with slight tear to mount, one faintly toned, endpapers of book with touch of spotting, pp. 31, 11 card mounts, 4to, original navy blue morocco gilt with worn glacine wrapper, book and mounts contained in original blue morocco gilt folding box, hinge slightly worn, very good. An exceptional, scarce resource for dry-fly tying cognoscenti, illustrated with a significant array of cock and hen hackles in gradations of natural and artificial colour. The introduction, by Lt-Col. W. Keith Rollo, notes that, on the author's death, his wife, to whom the text is dedicated, completed the edition, mounting the hackles for publication, and pays tribute to both Baigent's character, 'He was at his best in a gin clear, dead low water, and a bright sun.' and his innovative methods - the unusual size of his flies and the casting of dual flies to attract trout. From studying light refraction theories, Baigent believed that long-hackled dry flies created a more convincing imitation of the movement of wings than conventional flies, his 'Refracta' flies, marketed commercially by Hardy in the early 1930s. '.the person who is fortunate enough to be the possessor of a book by such a well known and skilful angler and fly tyer is to be congratulated' (Introduction). (T. Finger, Dr. Baigent and the Long-Hackled Fly, www.piscator.co.za).…
