Hand-colored engraving of a large beached whale with spectators--men, women, children, and a dog and horse--gathered around it. Jagged rocks, and what appears to be a cliff, in the background, with two men standing atop the rocks for a better view. Text printed below the image: "THE IMMENSE WHALE. 65 feet long. Found off Greenway Gapp near Brighton. 29 Decr. 1830."
