Description
(Grabenkunst Modell). A model of the USS Niagara (the flagship of Oliver Hazard Perry at the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie) hand-carved by a Kriegsmarine serviceman in Canadian captivity, of multi-piece wood and cloth construction, featuring hand-carved pieces recreating a stylized version of the vessel with sails, masts, and rigging visible, accompanied by a fitted wooden base, the obverse featuring a plaque bearing an inscription of “NIAGARA FLAGSHIP OF COMMODORE PERRY / BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE 1813”, unmarked, measuring 70 cm (l) x 10 cm (w) x 28 cm (h), demonstrating some chipping and oxidation, an interesting example of POW camp art with a choice of subject matter likely representing a slight to Canadian authorities, in very fine condition.
