= Nice and rare view of a stranded sperm whale, with an inset view of the whale seen from the back. Ingalls 380; F.M. 4150; Atlas van Stolk 4136; Sliggers/ Wertheim p.92ff, i.a. on the legal argument that unfolded in the wake of the stranding of this sperm whale. Two groups claimed the ownership of the sperm whale, basing their argument on customary law at sea that dead whales were possession of those that staked the first claim. This specific whale was displaced from its original stranding place (where it had been claimed by the first group) by strong winds in combination with a flood and was then claimed by a second group of claimants. The bailiff in charge judged that right of salvage and not sea laws prevailed, which meant that neither of the two groups had any claiming rights and the proceeds of the sale had to go to the States of Holland. Provenance: the collection A.M. van den Broek.
