We explored the thrill of the hunt and the quiet pleasures of angling with materials from the Noel Collection. Books on fishing from the years 1719-1919 and books on hunting once owned by Teddy Roosevelt are some of the items that provide a wide range of insights into the skill it takes to land a good catch. The beautiful illustrations captured ducks, quail, deer, foxes, and bears.
