Battle of Camperdown 1797

“Battle of Camperdown 1797” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by Salman Rashidi. Done on a huge piece of mammoth bark-7 1/2″L x 4 1/4″W !! What is interesting and unusual is the extensive use of stipple work by Rashidi, a technique rarely seen in his work. There is no stand with this as none is needed. Sits perfectly on a flat surface. Famous battle for the British in the North Sea who captured 9 Batavian ships of the line and two frigates. Take some time to study this. Amazing detail. From the collection of one of our clients who is no longer with us. A winner!
