This is a black-and-white drawing of a ship sinking in stormy water. The waves are rough, and two sea creatures with long necks and shells pop out of the waves near the boat. Above the ship, the sky is dark with a puffy cloud. The name "William B. Foster" is written below the image, likely marking this as a bookplate—a design used to label someone’s books. The style looks old-fashioned, with careful linework and decorative borders. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
