This dictionary is certain to have a major and lasting impact on both the study and the collecting of scrimshaw, that ever-popular folk art of whalemen. In his ground-breaking work, Dr. Frank, Director of the Kendall Whaling Museum, has cataloged every known and recorded scrimshaw artist active through the early twentieth century. His persistent search has unearthed an immense amount of significant, often fascinating, information on these little-known artisans. This book is indispensable to the collector, curator, and scholar of maritime and folk art. The North American Society for Oceanic History named A Dictionary of Scrimshaw Artists the best maritime reference book published in 1992.

"It has been estimated that about 200,000 whalers from New England and New York created scrimshaw. Although these scrimshanders were not artists per se, their work - as can readily be seen and appreciated in the wonderful color plates for this book that are reproduced from the collections of four great American whaling museums - has a compelling beauty that captures one's interest through its display of craftsmanship. This pastime, which is distinctive to American whaling, produced many fascinating objects from the strictly utilitarian to the fully decorative, and they have been organized here in six main sections: For Use on Board, For Use at Home, Made to Be Seen, Known and Supposed Makers, Ornamentation, and Not What It Seems. They comprise an enduring and invaluable legacy of American folk art and history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
