Sketches on the Nipisaguit
William Hickman, 1860
HICKMAN, William. Sketches on the Nipisaguit, a River in New Brunswick, B.N.America. Halifax, N.S.: John B. Strong. London, Day & Son, 1860.

"With fishing rod and sketch-book to the banks of the Nipisaguit." First edition of this charming and scarce work on salmon-fishing in the Canadian wilds. According to the preface, these sketches "were not originally intended for publication, but merely as mementoes of a pleasant visit paid by the Author, with fishing rod and sketch-book to the banks of the Nipisaguit." Already in 1860, he remarked, "The Nipisaguit is one of the very few rivers in North America which the salmon still visit for breeding purposes in undiminished numbers; saw-mills, spearing, netting, and what in England would be called poaching, have ruined the rest." Abbey Travel 629; Bobins 51; TPL 3988.

Small folio (371 x 269mm). With eight hand-colored lithographed plates. (Scattered fingersoiling to text and plates; text leaves with closed marginal tears.) Original purple cloth stamped in blind and gilt (neatly rebacked, upper cover rubbed and faded).Hickman, William
