Date:

1880-1909

Dimensions:

Print Size: 8.5 x 6.5

Description:

Image of a man holding a fishing rod and a fish. He is almost centered in the image and is facing toward the right of the frame. There is a felled tree in the foreground of the image, and the man stands with one foot on each of two logs that are in a body of water beyond the first downed tree. Grass and trees are visible in the left-hand side of the image and there are also trees in the background. Some appear to be pines and others appear to be bare. The man's fishing pole or rod appears to be made of wood, perhaps a long stick. He is wearing boots or shoes tucked under trousers, and a long- sleeved shirt under a vest. He is bearded and his hair has a curl. The reflection of his shoes and legs can be partially seen beneath him in the water. This man appears to be similar or perhaps identical to the man featured in Object ID MWM2010.0001.2895.
