Summary
| Description |
English: Frederick Myrick was one of Nantucket's most famous scrimshaw artists, and the first to sign his work. Born in 1805, Myrick went on at least three whaling voyages. His carved what may be the most famous whaling scrimshaw that depict American whaling. "Susan's Teeth" is a series of 22 scrimshaw creations that depict whalers off the coast of Japan (as in this photo) and Peru, ~1829. Myrick carved this piece from the whaleship "Susan of Nantucket", the whaler shown is the "Ann of London." He carved this scene for a customer, Mr. James Brown, who was on the "Ann of London." In 1997, a 'Susan's tooth' sold for $50,600 at a Nantucket auction. Myrick served aboard the "Susan" from 1826-1829, during which he made at least 44 exquisite scrimshaw carvings. That output was his entire artistic legacy. he never carved before or after his whaling voyages on the "Susan". Myrick married a 'Nantucketer', and later in life moved to western New York state where he died in 1862. See: http://www.liveauctiontalk.com/free_article_detail.php?article_id=554 |
