Beschreibung
Admiral Adam Duncan. Description: Continental framed detailed wax silhouette portrait in shadowbox frame of British Admiral Adam Duncan (1731-1804) from the Revolutionary War period: Image shows the navel uniform of the day. (Height: 7", Width: 6"). The name "DUNCAN" has been painted just below the relief. Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan (1 July 1731-4 August 1804) was a Scottish admiral who defeated the Dutch fleet off Camperdown (north of Haarlem) on 11 October 1797. This victory was considered one of the most significant actions in naval history (Wiki). Extremely detailed and accurate rendering in wax of renowned Admiral Duncan as determined by comparison with paintings and related images from his period. Beeswax has darkened his image with age without altering the precision of the execution. Artist unknown. Period estimated as nearly contemporary or not long after the life of the distinguished admiral (died 1804). From the Estate of Mark Falk. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1872

Anbieterinformationen
We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ILAB & ABAA) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...
Mehr InformationAll our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
