Abstract:
Advertisement for Berlingots-Eysséric, manufactured by Gustave Eysséric, a confectioner. Card features a color illustration of six men in a large rowboat, hunting a whale. The men are clutching their oars every which way while the whale emerges from the sea right next to them, sending a wave crashing over their boat. One of the men is standing on the bow of the boat, his legs spread wide as he aims a long harpoon towards the whale. A few seagulls are flying above the scene. The skies are filled with gray clouds and a larger vessel is just visible in the distance.
