Red Sails & Pilchards Book by Matt Johnson

Cornish fishing book by Seasalt illustrator Matt Johnson. An excellent gift for lovers of Cornish harbours, traditional wooden boats and vintage book design.

The 36 page illustrated book is an introduction to Cornwall's fishing history, and its heyday in the era of sail, inspired by the Country Life and Puffin picture books from the 1930s and 40s. It’s full of maps and diagrams of harbours, sailing luggers, fishing artefacts, sea creatures and nautical heritage as well as plenty of Cornish language and dialect words. Hardback with gorgeous red quarter cloth binding and patterned endpapers.
