Printed with fine black lines on light tan paper, a whale-sized fish spilling smaller fish from its gaping mouth and a gash in its belly fills a beach in this horizontal engraving. The fish lies on its side with its belly facing us, and one bulging eye peers off to our right. A man wearing a helmet holds a knife twice his own size with the blade up as he cuts the fish’s belly. Fish and scallop shells of all sizes tumble from its cavernous mouth and side. Several fish also have smaller fish in their mouths. On the far side of the fish, a man stands on a ladder braced against the enormous creature, holding a raised trident as he looks down, his face covered by the wide brim of his hat. On the land to our left is another smaller fish with human legs, which carries a fish in its mouth. It passes a man who carries a fish on his back outside a dilapidated cottage as he climbs a ladder leaning against a tree. Two other fish hang from the tree’s branches. Around the shoreline to the right, fish surface with more fish in their mouths. A man and a boy wearing tunics and long headdresses sit in a rowboat close to us, pointing as a second man in the boat holds a knife in his teeth and pulls a small fish from the body of a larger one. Another man sits on the beach further up the shoreline, about to catch a fish using fish as bait. The water stretches back to a town in the far distance. Boats float in the middle distance and some approach another whale-sized fish beached on a small island behind a tall rocky outcropping. About a dozen people with spears gather on the island around that fish. A flock of birds fly in silhouette in the distance beyond the island. A flying creature closer to us has a scaly body, gaping mouth, wavy tail, and tear-drop shaped wings. The print is inscribed in the lower left, “Hieronijmus.Bos. inuentor” and in the lower center, “ECCE.” The lower right is inscribed, “COCK. EXCV. 1557.”
