Of the Monstrous Pictures of Whales
In my very informed opinion it is absolutely essential to read Chapter 55 with visual aids. Here are some highlights pulled from Ishmael’s Most Hated depictions so we can all be on the same page about what whales definitely don’t look like.
- Guido Reni & William Hogarth get the benefit of the doubt on account of the fact that it never says Perseus’s sea monster is a whale. We can all agree that these definitely are not:
2. Robert Sibbald was the first naturalist to officially describe a blue whale and I’ll give him a pass on being first and blue whales being incomprehnsibly large even now, but this really is not accurate in pretty much any way.
See below the cut for more “monstrous” depictions!
