Provenance:
Northeast Auctions, Portsmouth New Hampshire, August 1994, purchased by the Kelton Foundation.
The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.

Given the popularity of whaling lore, the time had come to add whaling scenes to Currier's marine line. Currier could not find an American artist to use for these prints, so he relied on LeBreton and Garenay to provide images. The bark-rigged whaleships depicted, typical of the 1850s, proved a successful choice for Currier.
Condition
Overall condition is excellent, the paper generally in very good condition, hand coloring is strong with no apparent fading, the print "Capturing The Whale." is trimmed to the margins;,
