Partially hand-colored lithograph (only blue shades are colored) showing men hunting seals and lancing whales, both on the ice and from whaleboats, in an Arctic scene. At far right in the background, men shoot at a polar bear. A walrus and narwhals are depicted in the left-hand foreground. A ship flying the United States flag is immediately behind the hunters; men on board are cutting-in a whale. Three more ships are visible in the background, along with many icebergs. Title and publisher information printed on lower margin. Initials "EWC" in lower right corner of lithograph image.
