AF-WX-2149L.T.jpg

Colored engraving depicting four men on a small boat with trident-like weapons, engaged in attacking a pod of spotted, spouting narwhals wihich surround the boat. The sky is cloudy, but due to the colorist's choice of shades and painting, it appears as if the sun is illuminating the edges of the clouds. Under the image is the caption, "ICELANDERS FISHING FOR NARWHAL."
