Principally made up of official 17th and 18th century models in the Admiralty or Navy Board style, the collection is unrivaled by any museum outside the British national collection at Greenwich. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the models are not on public display, this book fills the need for a detailed catalog and visual reference with superb color photos of all the models, both overall portraits and multiple close-ups. Apart from lengthy descriptions of these magnificent artifacts, space is devoted to how they were identified, and the valuable research done by Arnold and Henry Kriegstein, the identical twins whose shared passion brought this all together. Beyond the technicalities of the ships, the story has a human dimension in the brothers' adventures in pursuit of every model and their dogged determination to secure them against official obstruction and dubious antiques-trade practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is an entirely new and revised edition of 17th and 18th Century Ship Models first published in 2007, now expanded to include the additions to the collection since that date.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArnold and Henry Kriegstein\u003c\/b\u003e are identical twins who share a love of naval history and have been collecting maritime art for forty years. \u003cb\u003eARNOLD KRIEGSTIEN\u003c\/b\u003e is the John G Bowes Distinguished Professor of Stem Cell and Tissue Biology and Director of the Institute for Regeneration Medicine at the University of California. \u003cb\u003eHENRY KRIEGSTEIN\u003c\/b\u003e is an ophthalmologist who practices in Massachusetts, and his other interests include astronomy and palaeontology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 11 x 11.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45602761769004,"sku":"9781399009775","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/smartsupplydeals.com\/products\/historic-ship-models-of-the-seventeenth-and-eighte-hardcover","provider":"Smart supply deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
