 This is an editorial cartoon that was published in the magazine The Publication Vanity Fair in the year 1861 just before the US Civil War, and it is the grand ball given by the whales in honor of the discovery of the oil wells in Pennsylvania. And you'll notice the whales in their evening dress being served by frogs, and it's just before the Civil War so you have the oil wells of our native land, may they never secede, and you have oils well that ends well, and we whale no more for our blubber. We have whales because we burn fossil algae. We don't burn whales to see at night anymore.
