The Marine room of the Peabody Museum of Salem
A 1921 catalogue of the Marine room of the Peabody Museum of Salem, compiled by John Robinson for the museum's visitors and for students of American shipping and naval history. Halftone plates photograph rigged ship models in profile against blank grounds, alongside reproduced paintings of brigs and schooners under sail, giving clean silhouettes of hulls, spars and standing rigging that lift easily as line or cutout shapes.
