Summary: A must-have book for any collector of scrimshaw!
Review: This book covers it all! With over 400 beautiful color photographs, meticulous research, and chapters covering a broad spectrum of topics, Martha Lawrence's book makes fascinating reading. Every aspect of the art of scrimshaw is covered: whaling ships (with wonderful photos onboard the Charles W. Morgan), the process of scrimming, the tools used, whale's teeth, scrimshaw in the home, themes and techniques, and modern day artists. Highly recommended!
