Colored engraving of an abandoned shore with a whale-skull, partially submerged, and some whale bones, at the water's edge. The only life visible is a flock of seabirds. In the background, on the other side of the bay, are several mountains with rising plumes of smoke, a decaying, deteriorating ship, and another ship behind it. The artist's name, "SKINNER PROUT", appears on bottom right. Below the image are the artist names, the title, and the publisher information. From a book about Australia.
