Edizione: claud lovat fraser carefully selected this group of poems from cotton?s body of work to illustrate, having been a long-time fan. ?his seventy-five drawings were done slowly and deliberately, and with the greatest enjoyment. they represent him at his best as a book-decorator and as an artist.? cotton is known not only for contributions to 17th century verse, but also for his co-authoring with isaac walton of what is perhaps the most famous fishing book of all time, the compleat angler. a harmonious combination of text and illustration.
