A ‘Bucko’ No More

2021年12月2日2021年12月3日

在2019年9月的“像海盗”的“说话”上，我们在Twitter上发布了一条消息，显示了一幅华丽穿着的人，名为“Marmalakè”。这位艺术家将他确定为“胶带海盗”。我们的团队在图像上玩得很开心，并将Marmalakè描述为“ Bucko”和“冥想海盗”。那条奇怪的推文引起了纽约大学地中海历史与考古学助理教授Antonis Kotsonas的注意。安东尼斯在希腊独立战争后几年研究美国地中海中队的活动，并认为这张肖像可能描绘了一个名为Manolis Mermelechas的希腊海盗。

Along with the portrait, Antonis was interested in a group of watercolor landscapes of Greek islands painted by artist Joseph Partridge. The images had been painted between 1827 and 1830 while Partridge was serving as a marine aboard the sloop of war USS沃伦。那些年与希腊针对奥斯曼帝国的独立战争的最后几年相对应。自1821年以来，战争一直在爆发，到1826年，战争陷入了经济困难，以至于许多希腊海员将海盗变成了一种生存形式，而不仅仅是对自己而言，而是对于他们所生活的社区。1827年初沃伦，，，，captained by Master Commandant Lawrence Kearny, a man with extensive experience combating piracy, was sent to the Aegean to help protect American merchant ships and conduct antipiracy operations.阅读更多

Tattooing…a dead art?

Tattoo artist Cap Coleman in front of his East Main Street store. Taken by Museum photographer William Radcliffe, July 1936. (Accession# P873)

你们中的许多人可能意识到，博物馆拥有一系列精彩的材料，曾经是世界著名的诺福克纹身师伯纳德·科尔曼（August Bernard Coleman），被称为Cap Coleman。我们的Coleman材料是我们最受欢迎和经常要求的私人观看和向其他机构贷款的收藏之一。目前，“纹身人”的小雕像目前正在马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的皮博迪·埃塞克斯博物馆（Peabody Essex Museum）展出，并在一场有关时尚和设计的展览中展出。

几周前，皮博迪·埃塞克斯（Peabody Essex）的一位朋友将我与波士顿美术博物馆的美国装饰艺术和雕塑高级策展人Nonie Gadsden联系在一起。Nonie was in the process of coordinating the acquisition of an object for their collection [Since the MFA hasn’t formally announced it yet I won’t spoil their surprise by telling you what it is!] and had some questions about our Coleman collection and how we acquired it. Answering those questions revealed a rather surprising motivation behind the Museum’s decision to acquire the materials.阅读更多

Thought it was time to share some more posters, so here we go. The first one is from the 1960’s and encourages young people to stay in school. As for the second poster, it was an effort to save the old USSOregon。该船在50年代被取消，但其中的碎片仍留在俄勒冈州波特兰的汤姆·麦考尔海滨公园，包括桅杆。第三个是艺术家约瑟夫·克里斯蒂安·莱恩德克（Joseph Christian Leyendecker）1917年的招募海报。

这套场景中的第一张海报也是第一次世界大战，并鼓励人们购买胜利笔记。第二次是艺术家艾伦·萨尔堡（Allen Saalburg）的第二次世界大战，并通过提醒人们在珍珠港灾难中丧生的生活来鼓励爱国主义。第三次也是第二次世界大战（1944年），并提醒人们，美国人也在太平洋战线上战斗，而不仅仅是在战斗即将结束的欧洲。它是由艺术家P. Kolada完成的

Dec 23, 1974, Re-enlistment at naval memorial plaque

这张图片从1973年12月开始显示在海军纪念牌匾前的重新入伍。不幸的是，我不知道两位先生的名字，但是在右边的后面，您可以从汽船上看到我们的步行横梁引擎奥尔巴尼。

To people who have seen our courtyard, this should look somewhat familiar. In 1972, the museum used part of the courtyard area to create the Gibbs Gallery, an exhibition celebrating William Francis Gibbs.阅读更多

我们的第一个海报是ca 1917招聘海报WWI, done by artist L.N. Britton. Keeping with the eagle theme, the second poster is also ca 1917 and was done by artist James Henry Daugherty. The image is a little dark, but when you see the poster close up the colors are very vibrant and eye-catching. We have an even larger version of this poster and I love to look it. The third picture ca 1918 by artist Albert Herter. I had never seen a YMCA poster this old before, so I thought it was pretty neat.

This second group starts with another WWI era poster, ca 1917. It clearly is trying to appeal to emotions. The second poster is from 1917 and encourages people to buy bonds to aid the war effort. The third is the only WWII poster in this group, being from ca 1944. This poster was part of a set that warned soldiers/sailors about the dangers of booby traps, encouraging them away from scavenging for souvenirs to take home. We have quite a lot of these in our collection!
