AF-NX-1108.T.jpg

Colored woodcut showing a whale on the surface of the water, facing left and spouting from two blowholes. Under the whale is a rust-colored painted area that may be an attempt to represent blood, as in a whaling scene, or possibly a shadow. Above the image is the text "MYSTICETE" and "PL[backwards F][backwards 1]6".
