  • A nice small size with the frame being 35 cm wide and 24 cm high.
  • Provenance from the well-known historic fishing shop PD Mall och Perth.
  • P. D. Malloch of Perth, Peter Duncan Malloch, was born in 1853 in Methven, just to the west of Perth. He was the son of Joseph Mall och, a linen bleacher, and Margaret. The family lived in and around Perth, firstly at Almondbank, then Reductone, a few miles north of Perth. 
  • Peter did not have the advantages of higher education and spent his youthful days in the woods and fishing in the river Almond. By the age of 12, he had a sound knowledge of all the birds and animals in the district. At the age of 14 he was able to mount birds well, make a rod and tie flies. Peter's occupation was a millwright but with his brother James as his assistant, he started, at the age of 18, a small taxidermy and fishing tackle business in a room off High Street in Perth (address unknown).
  • In 1877, Peter appears to have established a partnership in Stirling named Malloch, Michie & Crockart, which was dissolved in 1890 and the Perth business is later recorded at 213 High Street. Peter also established the Tay Salmon Fisheries Company in 1899, buying up the fishing rights along the river and estuary and creating one of the biggest operations of its kind. This business finally closing in 1996. The business appears to have moved in 1903 to 26 Scott Street, which it would occupy until 1981. On 10 March 1916, P D Mall och registered patent No. 103379 for a hand throwing device which could be used for grenades, lifelines, fishing lines and floats. 
  • Peter Duncan Malloch died in 1921 at the age of 68 and the business was continued by his sons. The original firm was last recorded in 1966, but appears to have been renamed Malloch (Field Sports) Ltd and was recorded at 26 Scott Street from 1970 to 1981. In 1986, it was re-named P D Mall och and moved to 259 Old High Street, Perth. The general decline in customers led to the business finally closing in February 2020.
  • Malloch may be said to have gone further than any other man in explaining the life history of salmon and trout. His knowledge of the movement of these fish and of the flies and insects consumed by the latter, was vast. In his later years, he became a great authority on all matters relating to salmon and trout. He was the first to study the importance of scale markings on salmon, and proved that every period passed in a river or sea could be explained by markings on the scales themselves. With his encyclopedic knowledge of insect life, it is not surprising that he achieved much renown as a fisherman. His book, first published in 1910, "Life History of the Salmon, Sea Trout, Trout and other freshwater fish", was such a success that it was reprinted in 1912. It has become regarded as a standard work on the subject and an intrinsic part of any serious fishing library. An exceptional angling fishing artwork example.
