Marbury had grown up at the Orvis Company, founded by her father Charles F. Orvis in 1856, and had spent years tying flies and corresponding with anglers from Maine to California. Her book was the first to document the full range of American fly patterns systematically — and one of the first works of angling literature written by a woman to be received as definitive.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis journal carries those 1892 illustrations across its full wraparound cover. The colour plates show trout fly patterns with the precision of natural history illustration: the hackles and wings, the silk bodies and wire ribbing, the brilliant colors of feathers sourced from across the globe — peacock herl, partridge, tropical birds — all rendered with the fidelity that makes Marbury’s plates as useful to the fly tier today as they were in 1892. Each fly is a small, intricate, brilliantly colored object. Together they form one of the most beautiful examples of American sporting illustration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets) with perforations for easy removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Casewrap sewn binding — flexible and lay-flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.75 × 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Matte laminated full-wrap print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrations: Mary Orvis Marbury, trout fly patterns (1892)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSource: \u003cem\u003eFavourite Flies and Their Histories\u003c\/em\u003e, Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1892\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally enhanced from the original 1892 edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFly fishers and trout anglers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFly tying enthusiasts and pattern collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishing history collectors and Orvis fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen’s sporting history admirers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who appreciates 19th-century angling illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beautiful gift for those who love fly fishing and trout streams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Story Behind the Illustrations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman who gathered the knowledge of anglers across America, the book she published, and the tradition of fly illustration she helped define — \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/mary-orvis-marbury-favorite-flies-histories-1892-fly-fishing\"\u003eread the full story on our blog →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":62825791029617,"sku":"59132176582653485760","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/Mary_Orvis_Marbury_1892_Trout_Flies_Journal_on_English_Riverside.png?v=1778426487","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/trout-flies-hardcover-journal-fishing-fly-pattern-notebook","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
