Reaching under full sail, including a jib-headed "kicker" topsail on the Jigger mast, the white-hulled barkentine THOMAS P. EMIGH is depicted approaching what appears to be the headland near Byron's Bay, Australia. The EMIGH engaged primarily in the Pacific lumber trade and Byron's Bay was one of Australia's foremost timber ports. Byron Point lighthouse, which marks the easternmost point on the Australian continent, is visible on its promontory high in the mist in the far distance. A tug, a steamer and a schooner are shown off the harbor entrance, under the EMIGH's bowsprit. Launched at Tacoma in 1902, the 1040 ton THOS P. EMIGH was owned and operated by the Charles Nelson Shipping Company of Oakland whose house flag...

Considered a pinnacle artform of the ship modeling craft, bone ships made by French and Dutch prisoners captured and held by the British during the Napoleonic Conflict are among the most collectible maritime artifacts to be identified. This beautifully detailed model is of a British Second Rate Warship, so classified due to the number of guns it carried. Unusually large, this model's length, nearly 30 inches, puts it in the largest class of prisoner of war models...

This Revolutionary War period flintlock pistol was made by Thomas Ketland, Sr. a successful firearms maker who was in business under this name from around 1760. He began to export weapons in 1790. The name Ketland continued as W. Ketland under his son and under Ketland and Walker with a later partner, though Thomas Sr. died in 1816. Signed on the lockplate T. Ketland & Co. with clear Birmingham proof marks which may be a later proofing of this weapon. The gun includes brass details and engraved floral elements and flourishes. There is wear to the gun consistent with use but the marks are clear and it is in good condition. A fine quality early flintlock pistol by a top maker of British guns...

This fine example of the sailor's art features great detail and is in good condition for a woolwork of this age. Most 19th century sailors had some skill with a needle as they were required to keep their own clothing in good repair as well as maintaining cloth items aboard ship. Some sailors used their skills to create ship portraits like these as a tribute and memory of their time at sea. This folk art medium reveals the subtlety and skill of the sailor's art. Vallejo Gallery features the finest in marine and maritime antiques...

Ellen Von Wiegand’s body of work reverberates with a quest for self-assurance and serenity as she uses her own nude body within her stylized prints. In a new series of large scale, limited edition linocuts now on view at JoAnne Artman Gallery’s Laguna Beach location, her portraits feature a distinctive use of line to establish composition, as well as a tool to divide space and color into defined, physical boundaries. Ellen Von Wiegand Salty Skin and Dusky Sky (1/6) Linocut on Kozuke Paper Framed Size 70 x 45 in As opposed to digital prints, linocuts celebrate the long tradition of handmade editioned art that has been practiced for nearly two millennia. While woodblock printmaking goes back thousands of years, artists like Picasso popularized linocut in the early part of the 20th century due to wider availability of linoleum. “All parts of my process are done by hand, from the original drawing, to the carving, and final printing. In order to produce a work in multiple colors, separate blocks need to be carved and printed for each hue. As a result, creating a limited edition of colorful prints is quite time consuming and requires a great deal of patience. And while there are multiple prints created from the same plates, each one is truly an original work of art” Von Wiegand explains. Reminiscent of ancient Corinthian Black...
