Framed Print of The International Fisheries Exhibition: salmon-poaching implements: Mr. Ffennell's Collection, 1883
The International Fisheries Exhibition: salmon-poaching implements: Mr. Ffennell's Collection, 1883. Collection of hooks, spears, nets and other devices for catching salmon illegally. Mr. Henry Ffennell's collection is unique; nothing of the kind has been attempted before...The number of names of rivers that appear in the exhibit show that it is completely representative of the subject. The collection contains no models. All the implements shown are actual weapons of war seized by water-bailiffs from marauders caught red-handed, in flagrante delicto, harrying the salmon on the breeding beds and elsewhere, along the rivers and streams of England and Wales... It is curious to note the differences there are in the rude designs which characterise the poaching salmon-spears of various districts. The Wye poaching spear, is not formed on at all the same principle as the salmon-spear used by poachers on the river Dovey... The spear from the river Seiont, with its three prongs, only two of which are pronged, differs also from the three pronged spear of the river Lune...To many of the captured implements are attached labels, telling the exact penalty inflicted upon the man caught with that particular instrument of salmon destruction'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
