With the advent of
"catch and release", the fishing creel no longer has much utilitarian
value. Instead, it is being recognized for its folk art appeal and the fine
workmanship that has gone into many of the old creels. Further, the fishing creel is
now widely recognized as a symbol of fishing and it is used in fishing art, logos and
interior decoration. |
| "The Art of the
Creel" is a photographic perspective on a wide variety of creels, their makers, their
materials, and their artistic appeal. With more than 200 different creels
photographed, this book provides a comprehensive look at all the major categories of creel
as well as some very rare, one of a kind creels that are tucked away in private
collections. The authors have also provided pertinent information about the history
and the makers of most of the creels. There is still much to learn about the subject
and "The Art of the Creel" is as good place to start for anyone interested in
fishing or folk art. |
