Description

For the past year, in anticipation of this session, I’ve been collecting random examples of decorative ivory (including elephant ivory) and whale parts. Here’s where I’ve taken photographs:

• American Museum of Natural History, New York: exhibit, “Whales of the Deep”
• Martha’s Vineyard Museum, Edgartown, MV
• Vineyard Haven, MV: traveling exhibit of the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan, built and launched in 1841 and restored
• Brimfield Antiques Show, Brimfield, MA
• Essex, MA, antique shop
• Reykjavik, Iceland, shops along Laugavegur
• Bucharest, Romania, antique shops in Old Town
