SET OF FOUR NATHANIEL CURRIER HAND-COLORED WHALING LITHOGRAPHS
America, 1846-1856
"American Whaler", "The Whale Fishery, 'Laying On'", "The Sperm Whale 'In A Flurry'." and "Capturing The Whale.". Each inscribed in lower margin "Lith. & Pub. By N. Currier" and "152 Nassau Street N.Y.". Housed in matching mats and frames.
9.25" x 13.25" sight. Framed 14" x 17.75".
Provenance:
Northeast Auctions, Portsmouth New Hampshire, August 1994, purchased by the Kelton Foundation.
The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.
Given the popularity of whaling lore, the time had come to add whaling scenes to Currier's marine line. Currier could not find an American artist to use for these prints, so he relied on LeBreton and Garenay to provide images. The bark-rigged whaleships depicted, typical of the 1850s, proved a successful choice for Currier.
