Lobsterman By Dahlov Ipcar

Lobsterman by Dahlov Ipcar follows a day in the life of a Maine lobster fisherman through Ipcar's distinctive illustrations and straightforward narrative, documenting the daily rhythm of hauling traps, sorting catch, and navigating coastal waters. The book captures the work without romanticizing the labor or the landscape.

Ipcar was a Maine-based artist and author who produced more than thirty children's books over a career spanning six decades, and her visual style, bold and graphic with a folk art sensibility rooted in mid-century illustration, is immediately recognizable. Published by Globe Pequot. For readers interested in regional stories, maritime life, or illustrated work that treats working subjects with clarity and respect.
