Description: RARE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN ANTIQUE 'WHALEMEN'S SHIPPING LIST,' (1909) NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS WHALING TRADE NEWSPAPER MERCANTILE PUBLICATION FRONT PAGE, MATTED & FRAMED [Tuesday morning, June 15, 1909](Dated 1909)Early 20th century American antique whaling & whale product mercantile trade newsprint publications DIMENSIONS: Frame: 20" Width x 25" Height Image: 14 3⁄4" Width x 191⁄2" HeightWeight: 5 lbs. 13.6 oz DESCRIPTION: Offered for your review and consideration is this fantastic piece of New Bedford, Massachusetts 19th and early 20th century American whaling history, in the form of a whaling newsprint publication, published in 1909 called the 'Whalemen's Shipping List.' It was originally folded into quarters and there's some minor to moderate foxing and/or tanning found along these folds, which are now largely relaxed. It's presently matted and framed in a contemporary stained wooden frame. This whaling mercantile trade publication features advertisements with many whale by-products, such as whale oil and whale bone. Of course, this over 110 year-old American newspaper publication came at a time when the whaling industry was still not vilified and came before it entered a period of abrupt decline. This 1909 whaling publication points to much different historical circumstances, when New Bedford, Massachusetts was still the virtual epicenter of 19th and early 20th century whaling and the mercantile trade of whale by-products. There are no tears or paper loss. Absolutely terrific. CONDITION:Good to Very Good overall antique condition.
