Naturalist painter Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910) drew pictures of Civil War battles for Harper's Weekly and, while he continued his work as an illustrator, he began painting landscapes until he discovered his love of seascapes while living in a small fishing village in England (1881-1882). When he returned to the United States, he settled in Prout's Neck, Maine, and concentrated exclusively on painting the sea. An avid fisherman, Homer captured the spirit of fly fishing in dozens of watercolors and oils. Pictured here are his treasured fly rod, a Nichols, P.F., 11-foot, 4-piece (c. 1883) and R.E. LaGrange U.S. Geological Survey map (c.1910).
