Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 7: The Jeroboam:

...as if by magic
the letter suddenly ranged
along with Gabriel's eager hand.
He clutched it in an instant,
seized the boat-knife and,
impaling the letter on it,
sent it thus loaded back into the ship.
It fell at Ahab's feet.
...many strange things were hinted
in reference to
this wild affair.
