~ 180 IMAGES ~
Looking for inspiration for creating a piece of scrimshaw, a drawing, or a painting? The Scrimshander's Secret Scrapbook of Whaling Era Illustrations is over 180 images from the late 19th and early 20th centuries featuring seafaring and whaling images originally created as woodcuts, lithographs, drawings, and paintings. The illustrations cover the range from catastrophes--in which skiffs of sailors get "fluke slapped" by angry whales to the fabled Kraken--the giant squid of the deep! With this many period illustrations, one is sure to find inspiration for their own masterpiece on whatever medium they choose - be it mammoth ivory, old piano keys, canvas, or a vintage tattoo!
