Est: $800 - $1,200
LEMUEL ELDRED PENCIL SIGNED ETCHING OF OLD IRONSIDES' LEMUEL ELDRED ( 1848-1928), OLD IRONSIDES IN BOSTON HARBOR. THE SHIP RECEIVED THE NAME OLD IRONSIDES DURING THE WAR OF 1812. IT WAS BUILT IN BOSTON IN 1797. IT IS THE OLDEST COMMISSIONED WARSHIP IN THE WORLD TODAY. IT NOW IS A TRAINING SHIP FOR THE NAVY. IT IS DOCKED IN BOSTON. Lemuel D. Eldred (1848-1921) Born and raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, Lemuel D. Eldred was the middle of three sons whose father worked as a boat builder. This early firsthand experience of life among the townâs waterfront greatly influenced his inclination towards marine painting. After training with local amateur portrait painter William Mosher and commercial artist Caleb Purrington during his youth, the latter introduced Eldred to William Bradford, the noted marine painter who, at the time, was painting ship portraits and marine scenes on the Fairhaven side of New Bedford harbor. Bradford took Eldred under his wing and invited his young protÃ©gÃ© to accompany him to New York, where Eldred spent the next five years painting in Bradfordâs studio and studying at the National Academy of Design. He returned to Boston around 1875 and established his own studio on Bedford Street, which he later moved to Pemberton Square. Vose Galleries.
