EDITORS COMMENTS
This Scrimshaw print, created by American artist Paul Ward in the late 1930s, showcases an intricately engraved scene of three figures: a man and two women. The image, executed in watercolor, pen and ink on paperboard, exudes the charm and allure of a bygone era. The trio is depicted in a rustic setting, with the man holding a horn and the women adorned in traditional clothing, reflecting the heritage art of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The intricacy and detail of the engraving is a testament to Paul Ward's masterful skill and dedication to the art form. The figures are rendered with such care and precision that each line and curve seems to come alive, inviting the viewer to explore the rich tapestry of American history and culture that is captured within this single image. This Scrimshaw print, with its functional yet decorative design, is a period item that transports us back to a time when art was not just a commodity, but a cherished expression of national heritage. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this important piece in its collection, adding to its impressive Index of American Design. The print is a reminder of the beauty and significance of Scrimshaw as an art form, and the enduring appeal of the human figure as a subject of artistic expression.
