TARPON CARVINGStephen R. Smith (b. 1942)
Jamestown, NY
base is 88 in. long, 38 in. wide
This grand tarpon carving measures seventy-five inches from tip to tail. It is mounted on a beveled-edge wooden base which displays the maker’s plaque on the bottom left.
After master carver Steve Smith completed this striking carving, the artist said it was the first one of the species he’d done, and likely the last. In 2019 the American Museum of Fly Fishing held an exhibition of the carver’s works titled “Commemorating the Catch: Fish Carvings by Stephen R. Smith.”
“Close examination of Smith carvings helps explain what sets his work apart. He is recreating specific great fish, rich in distinctive individual detail…There are elements of both realism and impressionism in his work…the colors of these carvings are remarkably lifelike, but trompe l’oeil shadings suggest dimensionality and even interior structures glimpsed through translucent flesh. This blending of techniques is masterful yet so subtle that it creates a unique visual experience,” writes Jim Brown.
David Nichols writes, “One can see the influence of his predecessors—particularly John Russell, John Tully, and Dhuie Russell Tully—in Steve’s work, which itself ranks alongside the best carvings of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.”
“There is reverence for nature at the heart of all Smith’s work,” according to Brown, and this grand approximately one- hundred and sixty pound trophy model represents the finest tarpon carving we’ve ever come across.

His mediums were oil, watercolor, gouache, pen and ink, graphite, wood engraving and lithography. His most well known subjects are ships, specifically portraits of single boats under sail. However his oeuvre also included other marine themes like ship wrecks, boat races, harbors and navy activity; as well as non-marine subjects such as cityscapes, street scenes, genre, war, natural disasters, news events, politics and portraits. His style was Realism.
According to the Canadian Heritage Information Network there are Edward John Russell works in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of Hamilton (Ontario), Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (Halifax), Beaverbrook Art Gallery (Fredericton, New Brunswick), Canadian War Museum (Ottawa), McCord Museum of Canadian History (Montreal), and the New Brunswick Museum (Saint John).

- 2 FRAMED 18TH C. FADEN MAPS - GREECE
2 FRAMED 18TH C. FADEN MAPS - GREECE & DENMARK**Originally Listed At $200**
Cartographer: William Faden (British, 1749-1836). Engraver: William Palmer (British, 1735-1812). "Graecie Antiquae et Aegaei Maris Tabula" Published by William Faden January 1st 1793. AND "Denmark and Holstein" Published by William Faden January 1st 1798. A beautiful pair of antique maps published by British mapmaker William Faden and engraved by William Palmer. Both maps have been hand colored and are set in attractive matching frames. Size of Denmark & Holstein map: 5" L x 4.3" W (12.7 cm x 10.9 cm) Size of frame: 14.5" L x 11.5" W (36.8 cm x 29.2 cm)
William Faden was a respected mapmaker in London from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries. According to Barry Lawrence Ruderman, "Faden's star rose during the American Revolution, when he produced popular maps and atlases focused on the American colonies and the battles that raged within them. In 1783, just as the war ended, Faden inherited his father's estate, allowing him to fully control his business and expand it; in the same year he gained the title 'Geographer in Ordinary to his Majesty.' / Faden also commanded a large stock of British county maps, which made him attractive as a partner to the Ordnance Survey; he published the first Ordnance map in 1801, a map of Kent. The Admiralty also admired his work and acquired some of his plates which were re-issued as official naval charts. / Faden was renowned for his ingenuity as well as his business acumen. In 1796 he was awarded a gold medal by the Society of Arts. With his brother-in-law, the astronomer and painter John Russell, he created the first extant lunar globe."
