Colored image depicting a whaling scene. The whale has turned belly-up as it tosses one boat to the side; the line of their harpoon is about to slip from one sailor's hand as his comrade is falling into the sea. The whale is spouting. Behind it, another whaleboat joins the fray as a man in a red shirt drives his lance into the stomach of the whale. In the background is another whale boat. Captioned in German, "Lebensweise und Fang des grosskopfigen Pottsfisches."
