FISHING IN WALES: A GUIDE TO THE ANGLER. By Walter M. Gallichan ("Geoffrey Mortimer"). Second edition.
(1903) ND (c1905) 2nd edition. Small 8vo (125 x 189mm). Ppviii,208 + 4pp ads. Frontispiece portrait photograph, folding map. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt, gilt title and design of angler on upper board.
A good guide, particularly to angling in the mountain lakes of Wales. The second edition differs from the first in having a fold-out sketch-map after the contents, and a new four-page Index. The upper board sports a handsome gilt design of an angler, based on a studio portrait of Gallichan himself (itself used as the frontispiece). This image was also used on the covers of "Fishing And Travel In Spain" and "Fishing In Derbyshire And Around," providing a unifying theme for the series.
