This one is an ink blotter. I thought it was really neat
because it looks like she is fishing with a Meisselbach Takapart reel. |
 |
This is another blotter. If you don't know what a blotter
is, you're too young to be viewing these pictures (just kidding!). Did
they really fish with huge hats on and white dresses? |
 |
This lady is a Bristol Rod Co. gal, and she's got her
Bristol rod and Horton Meek reel. How about that great floppy hat, and
another white dress. |
 |
This gal is outfitted a bit more for the outdoors. She's
got a more rugged looking blouse on. This was an advertising card. |
 |
This lady was painted by Hi Watson for the NY Conservation
Annual Report. She's got a leather dress and a bit more rugged outfit. |
 |
This gal (is that a sexist term?) was on the cover of a
magazine. She looks ready to go fishing. |
 |
This is another one that looks a bit out of place with her
big floppy hat and white dress. They sure liked to picture them with kerchiefs
around their necks at this time. |
 |
This lady looks like at least she can cast. She is also
decked out with an outfit that might be practical, however she still has
the white blouse. |
 |
This one is a postcard that is titled "Spring
Girl". She's got a cane bait rod and a small reel with a hard
rubber head plate. She is a companion to the one at the right. |
 |
This Lady is wearing the same hat as her friend to the
left. It sure looks like a medium breeze would blow off that hat. The
two were mailed to the same young lady in Illinois in 1909. |
 |
After viewing the ladies above, Carlos Seidner was kind
enough to donate this birthday postcard lady to the collection. |
 |
This is Polka Dot. She adorns a postcard from the early
1900s. |
 |
This is another one of those "how does she balance
that hat on her head?" postcards. This gal is fishing with one of
those great old bait rods. |
 |
This shows the obvious influence of our friends from
across the Atlantic. It is French, and more from the art deco period
than Victorian |
 |
This lady is fishing with a man for bait - or maybe she
has just caught him. Regardless it is one of the more common post cards. |
 |
This is another polka dot outfit. She has a neat canoe, a
pretty good largemouth bass, great boots, and is using an old wooden
bait rod. Great fishing lady. |
 |
This is a large old calendar. It was painted by Osborn
Mayer. This gal is a real outdoors woman, with proper clothing, and a
terrific brookie. |
 |
This nicely dressed lady, with her small raised pillar
reel and good looking creel, was the image on a 1908 calendar post
card. |
