J.E. Buttersworth-Deluxe Edition - New!

Description:	J. E. Buttersworth: 19th-Century Marine Painter Deluxe Edition, by Rudolph J. Schaefer. Deluxe edition includes a slipcase, limited edition of 300, and each book is signed by the authors: Andrew German & Janet Schaefer. Mystic Seaport recently published a 2nd edition of Rudolph J. Schaefer's comprehensive book, J. E. Buttersworth: 19th-Century Marine Painter. The new volume includes the details of Buttersworth's life, full-color reproductions of more than 150 works, and a listing of nearly 1,200 known Buttersworth paintings. The son of a British marine painter, James E. Buttersworth (1817-1894) was among the most prolific marine artists of the nineteenth century. His clipper ship views many of which were published as popular lithographs by N. Currier and his America's Cup race paintings are widely respected for their combination of artistic and documentary qualities. Like his contemporary "luminist" and Hudson River School artists, Buttersworth excelled in the dramatic renderings of sea and sky, elevating the precisely detailed renderings of ships beyond document to art. The completely revised image section, with new or augmented captions, contains more than 200 examples of Buttersworth's work illustrated in full color, more than half of which were not included in the first edition. Author's Biography: Drawing on forty years of study and collecting, Rudolph J. Schaefer produced the 300-page book, J. E. Buttersworth: 19th-Century Marine Painter, which was published by Mystic Seaport in 1975. Since going out of stock in the 1980s, this book has become a collector's item. In the decades since her husband's death, Janet Schaefer has continued to research the life and works of James Buttersworth, increasing the list of known works from 560 to more than 1,500. In collaboration with editor and author Andrew German, Janet has put together a book that is the most comprehensive source on this highly regarded Anglo-American artist. It is an essential text for libraries, museums, and collectors alike. A regular edition is also available. EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGES WILL APPLY

Flying the Colors - New!

Description:	Our newest book book by Alan Granby & Janice Hyland about the unseen treasures of nineteenth- century American Marine Art. Not since the first major publications on this subject over three decades ago -- among them A History of American Marine Painting, 1968, and the exhibition catalogs for "Seascape and the American Imagination," 1975, at the Whitney Museum and "American Marine Painting," 1976, at the Virginia Museum -- have we seen such a magisterial visual survey of the field. In the interim much has been added to the literature, including studies of important neglected figures like William Trost Richards and William Stanley Haseltine, as well as focused exhibitions devoted to lesser but appealing names like James A. Suydam and Francis A. Silva. Alan Granby and Janice Hyland add to this rich legacy with new attention to the prolific and versatile career of James Buttersworth, especially his beautifully drawn racing compositions and harbor scenes. The authors also reevaluate the maritime paintings of Antonio Jacobsen, with his accomplished handling of ship rigging and magnificent seas, as well as the colorful and charming folk variations of ship portraiture in the popular work of James Bard. There are illuminating sections here devoted to American artists painting American ships and harbors. Additionally, there are artists who worked abroad in England, Europe and the Orient who created images depicted here of American vessels and foreign ports. Classic examples along with rediscovered unknown works by key artists like Robert Salmon and Fitz Henry Lane are by no means neglected. A particularly interesting painting by the latter depicts a heavy-laden lumber schooner rolling on listless seas, with superb treatment of the patched hanging sails. Great care has been taken in the selection of the artists and the choice of paintings presented, most of which are from private collections. The expanses of sea and shore have long been an integral part of the American vision, beginning with the experiences of European colonists crossing the vast stretches of ocean to reach the horizons of the New World, and continuing with the nineteenth-century adventurers and settlers who traversed the continent from "sea to shining sea," crossing the "amber waves of grain" in their prairie schooners. Granby and Hyland lavish their primary concentration in this American story on the robust decades of the nineteenth century, when our waters were the constant setting for commerce, pleasure, and the embodiment of national purpose. -- John Wilmerding, author of American Marine Painting, 1987 EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGES WILL APPLY

Pete Culler on Wooden Boats

Description:	Pete Culler on Wooden Boats: The Master Craftman's Collected Teachings on Boat Design, Building, Repair, and Use. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, R.D. "Pete" Culler was one of a triumvirate of small-boat authorities—along with John Gardner and Howard Chapelle—whose writings kept traditional wooden-boat design and building alive in America. Culler was also a superlative boat designer and builder in his own right. His designs are classic melds of elegance and utility, and his workmanship is akin to artistry. Collected here is the best of Pete Culler, including the complete texts of his own two classic books—Skiffs & Schooners and Boats, Oars, and Rowing—along with articles from The Mariner's Catalogs and commentaries from Pete Culler's Boats: The Complete Design Catalog. 8.5" x 10.75", 386 pages, ISBN: 9780071489799, soft cover.

KELLY: A Father, a Son, an American Quest
