In this new article for the Huffington Post HERE I consider the real nature of whales and their enduring portrayal as monsters!
A monster sperm whale attacks a whale boat - the whale is surfacing upside down with its smaller lower jaw (complete with teeth) to the left.
In the background are whaling mother vessels from the 'yankee whaling period'. This image was an illustration for an article about whaling in a popular magazine (Harper's New Monthly) published in 1874.
