A showing of scrimshaw.

Description:

This is a softcover book/catalog of Frank Barcelos' work. There are few pictures of his work on whale teeth and whalebone it shows mostly. Plaques, pins and pendants much of it in color. I got my copy in the mid 70s from a shop in Wareham Ma. that sold gifts and scrimshaw. I think it was more to illustrate gift type items rather than highlight his exemplary work on the larger whale teeth and pieces of whalebone.
