Colored engraving of a rowboat with 8 men defending themselves with oars, hatchets, and a musket, from a party of walruses swimming up to them with tusks bared. To the left, behind this boat, is a boat with 5 or 6 men, one standing up and commanding the others, who are engaged in rowing or fighting the walruses with their oars. Above this fly a flock of seabirds, and in the background is a small iceberg. To bottom right is the text, "Mc.Farlane & Erskine, Lithrs. Edinr."
