“Battle of the Ironclads – 1862” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by David Adams. Famous Civil War battle scene that Adams brings alive. Very thick and heavy piece of ancient walrus tusk ivory mounted on one of the best pieces of cocobolo that we have seen. Information from the internet:
The clash between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (built from the remains of the USS Merrimack) at the Battle of Hampton Roads (March 9, 1862) is historically significant because it was the first-ever combat between ironclad warships. This event instantly rendered the world’s wooden navies obsolete and marked the dawn of modern armored, steam-powered naval warfare.
