Monochrome illustration from a book of comparative anatomy, showing anatomy of parts of the whale. Various organs and the head are illustrated in detail, some with cutaway sections, and labeled as "Fig. II-IX" with capital letters used for further sub-numbering. The whale's head is labeled "Fig. A." and features a doglike snout and quadruple rows of spiny teeth. Objects marked "B" appear to be close views of the teeth. One of the two objects labeled "Fig. IIII" may be the heart, and "Fig. IX" the eye. Marked "Fol. 272" at top right.
