Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 22: The Death of the Pequod:

...all their enchanted eyes
intent upon the whale, which
from side to side strangely vibrating his
predestinating head,
sent a broad band of overspreading
semicircular foam
before him as he rushed.
Retribution,
swift vengeance,
eternal malice
were in his whole aspect,
and spite of all that mortal man could do,
the solid white buttress of his forehead
smote teh ship's starboard bow,
till men and timbers reeled...
Through the breach,
they heard waters pour,
as mountain torrents down a flume.
