Monochrome engraving with three panels. Top panel, a figure cutting up meat with a long knife, and a figure stirring oil in a large pot on a brick base, using a ladel. Below, figures stand by two large square wooden objects, possibly presses for whale oil. Something is being extracted as a fluid from one of them, and some discharge is being raked out of another. At bottom, a crossectional view of a ship where sailors are boiling blubber into whale oil on board ship.
