Colored engraving of a young man in a kayak raising his harpoon, about to strike a narwhal swimming to the left. The boat appears to cross over the tail of the narwhal and there is a barrel and a roll of harpoon-rope on board. Behind, to the right, is a rocky outcropping, and in the background on the left is an iceberg. Rays of light emenate from the rising or setting sun, illuminating the foam surrounding the kayak and lending a sense of drama to the scene. Below the image is printed, "THE NARWHAL."
