Herman Melville’s Chapter 32 of Moby Dick makes a connection between whales and books. This is a humorous view of that connection by putting a humpback whale inside a book. It was an opportunity to play with the blues and greens of an underwater scene and an opportunity to draw attention in a subtle way to the importance and protection of our oceanic resources.
