Book excerpt: This clothbound, coffeetable book has over 90 full color plates of the work of John Prentiss Benson, an unsung Marine artist, who lived in New England from 1865 to 1947. There are currently hundreds of his undiscovered paintings at large. John Prentiss Benson was born in 1865 in Salem, Massachusetts. His youth was spent just blocks away from the seaport where ships of all kinds were a source of endless fascination. Artistic talent ran in the family, and his oldest brother, Frank, displayed such gifts that further study was encouraged. But when young John indicated he, too, would like to study art, parental caution took over. One artist in the family was enough.After receiving excellent training in Paris in 1888-89, John opened an architecture practice in New York City. Half of his professional life was spent as an architect, but he never lost his desire to paint. By 1925, he had closed his business, moved to Kittery, Maine, and become a full-time painter. His artwork sold readily in galleries, at exhibitions, and to visitors. Painting with great regularity every year until his death in 1947 at age 82, he created more than 750 canvases. Many remain unlocated. Part mystery, part treasure hunt, the search for still unlocated John P. Benson paintings is an ongoing quest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this book is the identification of artists' signatures: some 4,500 American artists and, in addition, some 600 Canadian and Latin American artists. Necessary biographical information, such as nationality, birth and death dates, is given along with bibliographical references and auction records in the form of key letters which help direct the reader to further sources of information. With each artist, there is presented at least one signature facsimile; in many cases, multiple signatures totalling nearly 10,000 examples taken from oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints covering as broad a range as possible in painting styles and periods from 1800 through 1989. For the easy identification of an artist who signs his or her work with a pseudonym, monogram, symbol or indecipherable signature, there are three separate sections in the back of the book."--Introduction.

Book excerpt: Captain Luke Ryan Irish Swashbuckler & American Patriot - Benjamin Franklin’s Most Dangerous Privateer - You’ve probably never heard of Luke Ryan. You probably didn’t know that Benjamin Franklin had his own private navy during American War of Independence and yet Ryan - Franklin’s most dangerous privateer - did more damage to British shipping than any other commander, including the great John Paul Jones. This is an extraordinary, little-known story of selfless heroism, love, intrigue and betrayal. It is a bold story about bold men, about rough Irish mariners who in the beginning of their adventure sail for money but later find themselves fighting for a new nation’s struggle for liberty, becoming true American patriots along the way. - 1778 - Ryan, a 25 year old smuggler and thief, is the master of the Black Prince, one of the fastest ships on the water. He runs a very lucrative business between Dunkirk and Dublin and is indifferent to the brutal war raging back and forth between the Colonies and Great Britain until the British seize his ship one day and toss his men into Dublin’s notorious Black Dog. Ryan escapes capture, breaks his men out of jail and together they retake their ship by force. But now the Irishmen have committed piracy and they will all hang if caught. They cannot return to smuggling so Ryan sails to France to offer his services to Franklin, the American ambassador to the French Court who, Ryan has heard, is quietly assembling a private navy to fight the British in their own home waters. Franklin’s reluctant decision to unleash Ryan and his Irishmen will bring unforeseen consequences and have a significant impact on the outcome of the war…
