EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Whopper" (engraving) captures a humorous and lively scene that takes us back to the summer of 1893. Created by Frederick Barnard, or possibly attributed to him, this print showcases his exceptional talent in illustrating comical moments. The artwork is now part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. In this delightful engraving, we are transported to an idyllic riverside setting where angling enthusiasts gather for a day of fishing and swimming. The title "The Whopper" hints at the exaggerated tales often associated with fishermen boasting about their catches. With mischievous grins on their faces, these characters seem eager to share their own incredible stories. Barnard's attention to detail shines through as he skillfully depicts each figure engaged in various activities related to angling. From casting lines into the water with precision to eagerly awaiting bites from elusive fish, every aspect of the sport is captured here. This print not only celebrates the joy of fishing but also highlights the camaraderie and humor shared among fellow anglers. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it's not just about catching fish but enjoying memorable moments spent outdoors with friends and loved ones. Whether you're an angling enthusiast or simply appreciate whimsical artistry, "The Whopper" engraving offers a charming glimpse into Victorian-era leisure activities.
