Antique Map of Old Cape Cod by Coulton Waugh. This is the smaller version produced by Coulton Waugh in the same year as the larger. In pencil at lower right is "Hand colored by M- E.D. Jenkinson." This map is in very good condition, with mild toning. It may be affixed to a board- we have not opened the frame to check. Framed in an antique frame- the glass may not be UV protective and it might be wise to replace it. Measures approx. 9 x 13 inches to the neatline - edge of printed map. Total dimensions with frame are approx. 13 x 17 inches. Framing adds to the cost of shipping. This map can be shipped without the frame for a lower shipping cost- please contact us if interested in purchasing the map without the frame (map price remains the same).
Frederick Coulton Waugh was a cartoonist, painter, teacher and author, best known for his illustration work on the comic strip Dickie Dare and his book The Comics (1947), the first major study of the field. 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, in 1907 his family moved to the United States, and Waugh was enrolled at New York's Art Students League where he studied with George Bridgman, Frank Dumond and John Carlson. By 1916 Coulton 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. His paintings were displayed at New York's Hudson Walker Gallery, and he also was known for his pictorial maps and hand-colored lithographs.
