About the Item
This very finely carved statue is of a swimmer just leaning over to dive into an unseen pool. Signed P. Barzanti, Florence for Pietro Barzanti (1825-1895) of Florence, Italy. Barzani was a well known sculptor known for classical works in marble which is reflected in this figure's very delicate facial features and the skill shown in the carving of her hair and the cloth of her bathing costume which folds and wrinkles in a very natural and realistic way. In white marble

Follow the Leader
By Joseph Witham
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
The most important maritime center in the 19th century, Liverpool, had many advantages. Located on the England-facing west coast of the Irish Sea, the Mersey approach was wide, deep and actively associated with all aspects of shipping. It also faced northwest, as the distressed fleet in Witham's work has discovered on a stormy February 8, 1881.
To the rescue of the 12 ships, the Pilot Schooner No.2, LEADER, signals the fleet to follow, using the pre-1900 commercial code signals "l w c".

Within a span of hours, all twelve ships were led successfully to their docks.
Witham painted the scene in conjunction with the great acclaim the Pilots received in 1881, and it became so popular that he painted additional works marking the event over time. His local contemporary, Samuel Walters...
