Description
Figureheads--those magnificent carvings that once adorned the prows of early sailing vessels--are the focus of this intriguing coloring book. Twenty-seven illustrations of these splendid embellishments depict the figure of a sailor ('Jolly Jack Tar'), the warrior chief 'Tecumseh,' Eurydice, ascending from the underworld; a Scottish soldier of the Blackwatch regiment, and many others. A small sketch of the ship which proudly displayed this work of art accompanies each full-page illustration. Captions describe the ship and provide historical background for each figurehead. Dover Original. 27 black-and-white illustrations. Approximately 11 full-color illustrations on covers.
