Poster with a vintage 1872 illustration of a sperm whale by Charles Melville Scammon, featuring the text "Sperm Whale (Physeter Macrocephalus)".
The sperm whale's impressive tail fin is capable of striking at speeds up to three meters per second—enough force to incapacitate an orca. The whale's head houses a large organ filled with a substance once mistakenly believed to be the whale's sperm, leading to its enduring name. This organ's purpose remains a mystery, adding to the mystique of these magnificent creatures, famously represented by the albino sperm whale, Moby Dick, in literature. A fascinating blend of art, science, and history, this poster is a captivating addition for any enthusiast.
Artist: Charles Melville Scammon | Created: 1872.
