An Army Of Marine Figurines Adam's Island
A collection of 17 subjects marked AI for Adam's Island, not for Alarming Intelligence as is becoming common…
Gathered at the beginning of the last century by a few wealthy individuals who indulged in tourism. These statuettes all bear witness to their history and sometimes show a few light scars from their voyages…
List presented in no particular order:
Marked sailor at rest, Blankenberge (17 cm high), mold no. 28,
another resting on his net (15 cm x 11 cm), mold no. 10.
A little girl asleep on her basket, signed G. Tilges, marked St. Valery en Caux (9.5 x 6 x 10 cm),
A young girl waiting for the boat to return (7 x 6 x 10 cm), signed and mold no. 589,
Mold no. 561, entitled "A good catch," shows a satisfied couple with a sole and three sardines… (old damage),
Subject no. 192, a small couple sitting facing the sea.
Two sailors chatting, mold no. 16 (14 cm x 10 x 6 cm),
a battered sailor in front of his rudimentary catch-all, from Brest, mold no. 1455.
Couple leaning against their small boat (mold 2124) (7.5cm x 10cm x 8cm).
Couple (individual figures) from La Panne, mold 45, 12 cm high.
Couple (individual figures), signed A. Harpé, in raw, unpainted terracotta, 10 cm high.
Small joined couple, mold 996 (10 x 5 x 3cm).
And three boats: the one from Brest, mold 947, returning to port, laden, with all sails set;
the boat from Le Tréport shows a fisherman hauling in his nets on a rough sea (mold 1408).
The last figure, mold 445, is striking because the couple is on board, waiting for a good catch.
