Title A name given to the resource A Binding in Fish Skin Description An account of the resource I believe that engaging with the larger community of book artists and craftspeople is an important—and arguably essential—part of being a book collector. I enjoy occasionally commissioning custom bindings for my books. This copy of Hallock’s The Fishing Tourist was recently bound in fish skin by Winnipeg binder and book artist, Debra Frances. The skin is Lake Trout, which Debra caught in a Northwestern Ontario lake and then cleaned and tanned herself before executing the binding. The Fishing Tourist is a significant book, as it was the first to widely publicise the presence of an important gamefish, the Michigan Grayling. Unfortunately, the fish became so popular that overfishing, combined with habitat loss and introduction of other fish species, led to its extinction by the 1930s.

Title A name given to the resource A Colourful Cod Description An account of the resource Shaw’s General Zoology was a popular natural history compendium published in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The “Fishes” volumes of Shaw’s Zoology are often found on the market today; however, this is the first (and only!) copy I have seen where all 189 engravings have been professionally hand coloured. This specific plate was chosen to compare with the uncoloured example of the same plate featured in the original exhibition.

Title A name given to the resource Elsje Becomes a Fish Description An account of the resource I enjoy adding these sorts of books to the social history portion of my collection. Many nineteenth-century children’s stories feature fish (or children who transform into fish) that stray from the safety of their homes and parents. Some children, like our Elsje, are able to return home safely after their ill-advised adventures, but others are not so lucky… Cautionary tales such as these were common in the nineteenth century.

Title A name given to the resource A Custom Dust Jacket Description An account of the resource Children’s books are a fascinating genre to collect, as these books were often heavily used and thus show evidence of how previous owners cared for their books. Elsje bij de Visschen [1892] was fitted with a custom dust jacket bearing an inscription in Dutch dated 1906. Translated into English the inscription reads, “Johhanna Louws / Age 9 years old, born the 15th of June 1896 in Zoutelande, I received this picture book the 6th of February 1906.” The presence of this jacket demonstrates that Johhanna, and all subsequent owners, were keen to keep this lovely little book in fine condition.

Title A name given to the resource Fish Couture Description An account of the resource In cultures around the world, fish play an integral part in daily life as food, objects of study and recreational pursuit, and as characters in stories and parables. Over the last several years, I have built the portion of my collection that documents the social history of fish, including ways that lay people interact with fish in a non-technical way. This print by George Spratt illustrates a woman whose body and clothing comprise different species of fish and other aquatic organisms.
