Lovers of fly fishing will delight in this collection of tied flies from an original rare copy of "Favorite Flies and Their Histories," 1892. The book was compiled by Mary Orvis Marbury, daughter of the founder of the Orvis fishing tackle company that is still a leading name in fishing gear. In 1890, Marbury sent to seasoned anglers throughout the United States specific questions about their favorite fly. Their answers were compiled into the book and combined with beautiful illustrations released two years later. Each print is an original chromolithograph measuring 7 inches by 9 1/4 inches on a smooth ivory paper. Some prints are embellished with actual silver and gold.
