About the Item

Offered is an original 1903 photogravure by Douglas Adams entitled "A Tight Line." The print depicts fishermen in a stream, beside large mountains. The fisherman at right arches his rod back as he fights to reel in a fish. The print is pencil signed by Douglas in the bottom left margin. Douglas Adams (1853-1920) exhibited in the Royal Academy between 1880 and 1894, and also shared a Primrose Hill studio with other artists. He specialized as a landscape and wildfowl painter and very often painted sporting scenes. Many of his paintings are of field sports including hunting, shooting, and fishing, as well as other landscapes painted in the Victorian tradition. Due to the success of his paintings, Adams worked with the well-known publishers Thomas McLean and Henry Graves & Co. to create limited edition prints of his more popular painted scenes.   CONDITION:  Good condition. Signed "Douglas Adams" in the left margin in pencil. Signed in right bottom corner of image in the plate. Publication information along the top right corner. Full paper margins.
