Favorite Flies And Their Histories

Mary Orvis Marbury

1892 Edition by Houghton Mifflin Company

A very important work by Mary Orvis Marbury, the daughter of the founder of the famed Orvis Company. Favorite Flies was written from her father\'s correspondence, and engagement with anglers throughout the country. She questioned fisherman about their favorite fly. The responses from both her father and anglers were compiled into this rare book. These beautiful prints enabled anglers around the world to set a standard nomenclature for American flies. This book was an immediate best seller and was reprinted at least nine times. Finding prints from the first 1892 printing is becoming increasingly difficult. Each print is an original chromolithograph measuring 7 inches by 9 1/4 inches printed on ivory paper.

Prints are still in the original book, which will be disassembled after purchase and come with the corresponding description of each fly.

Book title page not included.
