This wonderfully detailed American sailing ship lithographs/prints were compiled by the Seamen's Bank For Savings in New York in 1962.
Each of the prints were taken from an original painting by a different artist. These 4 frame-worthy prints each measure 16 x 12 inches. The actual design measures 13 3/8 x 9 inches if the purchaser wishes to crop the prints to fit in a different sized frame.
The first ship featured is the Meridian built in Boston, Massachusetts by Samuel Hall in 1862. This print was taken from the painting of J. & F. Tudgay.
The next ship featured is the New World built in Boston, Massachusetts by Donald McKay in 1846. This print was taken from a painting by S. Walters.
The third ship is the Pleiades, built in Bath, Maine by John C. Lowell in 1855. This print was taken from a painting by D. McFarlane.
Last is the Reynard, built in Newburyport, Massachusetts by G. W. Jackman in 1856. This is the only print which states that the artist is unknown.
This portfolio of prints is in superb condition, without any tears. They were done on heavy paper stock. The detail on each is truly amazing, and the color use and shading really make the prints come to life.
There is some wear to the protective portfolio cover. The inside of the cover briefly tells the story of each of the sailing ships featured. |
