This illustration highlights the plight of whales in the 19th century; The carved whale teeth along the length of the design were inspired by Susan’s Teeth, a famous set of scrimshaw teeth inscribed by a whaler from Nantucket in the nineteenth century. The carved bone seal was a common form of folk art for sailors of the era, and the skeleton coral is a symbol of encouragement for virtuous living and reverence for life.
