Marbles Hawkbill. Scrimshaw Series. In the early 19th
century, whalers could find themselves at sea for up to two years at a
time. With very little to do, some whalers would spend hours and hours
etching intricate scenes into whale teeth and bones. This incredible art
became known as scrimshaw. The Marble's Wildlife Scrimshaw Series
celebrates that art with intricate etchings of the animals of the wild.
