Crosby. Printed on Nantucket by the Tetaukimmo Press for Everett U. Crosby, in 1955. One of the most elusive and sought-after books on scrimshaw. The first portion of the book deals with that justly fabled small group of teeth which can be identified as having been carved aboard the Nantucket whaleship "Susan" in the late 1820s. There follows a lengthy exposition by Crosby on scrimshaw, followed by three collected articles in the same vein but each with a unique slant. The numerous illustrations of fine scrimshaw were taken from Crosby's collection and that of Winthrop Williams. Crosby's book was one of the first serious studies of this priorly-neglected subject; copies remain elusive. Author of a number of books on Nantucket arts and history, Crosby the "Nantucketer" never disappoints. Hardcover. 7.5"x10", 62 pages of text plus 53 black & white plates. Light spotting on the endpapers (as is often found); slight discoloration along the top of the front cover. Signed by Crosby on the title page. Except for the few slight faults mentioned, in very nice, clean condition. - QUESTIONS about this item? If you have any questions regarding this item, please let us know and we will respond promptly.
