Black and white scrimshaw on whale ivory by Gerry Dupont. A sad end for the whaler, Antarctic. Award winning scrimshander, Dupont, has captured the bleak setting perfectly, adding to the overall mood of the piece, not an easy task for any artist, much less for a scrimshander. Bravo.
Notice:
This scrimshaw is done on a sperm whale’s tooth. Federal legislation bans the interstate shipment of whale ivory. It can only be shipped intrastate (within the state). All of our whale ivory is located with our associate in the state of Florida. It can be purchased directly from our website and shipped only to an address within the state of Florida. If one has a relative, trusted friend or business associate within the state of Florida, we can ship to that specified address in order to comply with Federal legislation. The scrimshaw can then be forwarded to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions, email or call us.

Black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth ivory by Gerry Dupont. One of the most difficult things to do in scrimshaw is an effective black and white portrait. Award winning scrimshander, Dupont, has knocked it out of the park with this one! Note the intense gaze of the austere Captain as well as the sheen on the well worn beaver hat. You can see the folds in the Captain’s coat, vest and the fabric on the requisite photographer’s table. You can even make out the veins in his weather beaten hands. Outstanding! The script on the back is done in the stilted style of the mid 1800s and the whaleship is neatly bordered with a twisted rope. No detail is too small for Dupont in this winner. Although the ivory is not of gigantic size, the work is first rate all the way and worthy of any fine scrimshaw collection.
