Only the title and board are given, so the paragraph has to rest on the subject itself. "American Game Fish" points to the sport-fishing species that anglers in North America have long pursued, such as black bass, trout, and salmon. Images of this kind were often made for sporting magazines, tackle catalogs, and natural history books, where they served to identify species and celebrate the angler's catch. Their careful rendering of scales, fins, and coloring reflects a period when illustration was the main way most people learned to tell one fish from another.
