Agreed great pic.

That picture is of the man on the front cover of his book "Man of the Riverside"

Pezon et Michel 8' 10" Sawyer Nymph #4 by current parameters. Superb cane and fittings, Sharpes later made the same rod in their impregnated cane, which I think was even softer. That one used to flex deep down into the corks of its unusual 'plug in' handle.
