WHITMAN (Malcolm Douglas) Fly Fishing Up to Date or the Evolution of a Fisherman. Privately Printed, Norwood Mass, Plimpton Press, 1924. In-8, 26pp. Small number print on laid form. E.a.s. and printed poem added. 1/2 olive canvas with corners, green cardboard dishes, golden fly in the center. Very rare. All the copies were probably offered. Whitman, in addition to a brilliant law study at Harvard, was U.S. tennis champion for several years in a row around 1900 and won several "Davis Cup" as a team. He left an interesting book on the sport. A year after the death of his daughter who was only 16 years old, he defended himself after a nervous breakdown at the age of 52.
