Giant Squid Remains from Logie Bay
A squid’s head rests above a tall support while long arms and tentacles hang down into a circular vessel. The printed caption identifies the remains as those of a gigantic calamary from Logie Bay, Newfoundland. The supports make the extraordinary length of the appendages visible. The engraving depicts a specimen display; the small forms at its base are not a group of human spectators.
