Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 10: The Samuel Enderby:

"Hast seen the White Whale!"
"See you this?"
and withdrawing it from the folds that had hidden it,
he held up a white arm of sperm whale bone,
terminated in a wooden head like a mallet...
With his ivory arm frankly thrust forth
in welcome,
the other captain advanced,
and Ahab,
putting out his ivory leg,
and crossing the ivory arm...
cried out in his walrus way,
"Aye, aye, hearty!
let us shake bones together! -
an arm and a leg!"
