inscribed on the wood frame "Caught by Captain L. H. Thornton (Late Rifle Brigade) August 27, 1910. Weight 10 Lbs 10 Ozs. Time taken in landing 2 Hours 5 Minutes."
A plaster relief of a twenty-seven-inch brown trout. According to Swanson, "As an alternative to taxidermy and effigies the British also made plaster of Paris "casts" of fish. A mold was carefully made from the dead fish and then wet plaster was poured into it, forming an exact replica of the fish. When dry, the resulting casting was painted by an artist to replicate the live fish, and then it was mounted on a backboard and framed or put behind glass."
