Prosek, James – TROUT – 1996 1st ed. – Knopf, NY – 158p – Having developed a passion for fishing as a boy, the author searched in vain for a book that catalogued the trout he had come to treasure. Then he began painting them himself, inspired by John Audubon’s classic bird portraits. This book is the dazzingly beautiful result, with more than seventy original watercolors by a true prodigy – only 20 years old and already considered “a fair bid to become the Audubon of the fishing world” (The New York Times). – With youthful passion and stunning accuracy, Prosek celebrates as never before the indelible beauty and variety of the trout. – Very fine in very fine dust jacket – Signed by author. - $50.00
