Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 20: The Death of Fedallah:

"The Parsee!" cried Stubb,
"he must have been caught...
...caught among the tangles of your line...
I thought I saw him dragging under."
"My line! my line! Gone? - gone?
What means that little word?..."
Lashed round and round to the fish's back;
pinioned in the turns upon turns
in which...the whale had reeled the involutions
of the lines around him,
the half torn body of the Parsee was seen;
his sable raiment frayed to shreds;
his distended eyes turned full upon old Ahab.
