Coulton Waugh's Map of Cape Cod
This is the smaller version of the classic collectible Coulton Waugh map of Old Cape Cod. Frederick Coulton Waugh was a cartoonist, painter, teacher and author; his father was the marine artist Frederick Judd Waugh, and his grandfather was the Philadelphia portrait painter Samuel Waugh. Born in Cornwall, England, in 1896, Coulton Waugh and his family moved to the United States in 1907. Waugh enrolled at New York's Art Students League. By 1916 he was employed as a textile designer. Two years later, he married Elizabeth Jenkinson. In 1921 the couple moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts where they operated a model ship and hooked rug shop for 11 years. He was well known for his pictorial maps and hand-colored lithographs, as well as his paintings and comics. We have a scan of his catalogue, which included prints on gold-flecked Japanese paper!

The Upside-Down Chatham Chart
This rare and highly collectible chart of Chatham was produced by George Eldridge, Chatham's prominent chart maker in the mid-19th Century. The chart is the first edition of the first chart made by George Eldridge. It is in original condition, and could be restored if desired. It is backed on a calico fabric and has markings from a local navigator. This charming piece of Chatham history would be a very special addition to any Chatham collection.

We are sorry that the discount cannot be applied to this chart!
