Monochrome plate showing Jonah, looking up, spat up onto a sea-strewn beach by the whale, depicted as a sea serpent; in the background is a ship whose sailors are pushing Jonah overboard, next to the gaping mouth of the whale; in the right-hand part of the background is a coastal city with domes. In the top margin is printed "Jonah Cast by the Fish on Dry Land. Jon: II v. 10. p. 889." In the lower margin is printed, on either side of a coat of arms, "To the right Reverend Father in God Nicholas Lord Bishop of St. Davids, This Plate is Most Humbly Inscrib'd by his Lordships Most Dutiful Son and Servant; Tho. Stackhouse."
Only one Nicholas was ever Bishop of St. David's: Nicholas Clagett, serving there from 1732 to 1742.
In the lower margin on the right, where often one finds a printed engraver attribution, there is a handwritten one: "J. Mynde, Sc." It is most likely written in iron gall ink, due to the characteristic brown halo surrounding the letters.
