The Voyage of the Pequod from the Book Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Everett Henry, illustrator, Cleveland: Harris-Seybold, 1956. Original size: 43 x
61 cm (17" x 24"). Everett Henry emphasizes the apocalyptic destruction of the Pequod in his illustration of Ahab's prophetic Parsee lashed to Moby Dick
(at the bottom), on his inset diagram of the three-day chase (right), and by his depiction of storm clouds where North America—and home—should have
been. By permission of the Harris Corporation and The Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division.
