Rare c.19th hand coloured lithograph of a trammel net used on the New South Wales coast.
A trammel net is a three-layered dragnet, designed so that a fish entering through one of the large-meshed outer sections will push part of the finer-meshed central section through the large meshes on the further side, forming a pocket in which the fish is trapped.
