Rare early original vintage stereoview photograph shows men on a whaling ship skinning a finback whale which lies next to the boat.

Caption on back reads, “Whale at the wharf - Nantucket” and “Skinning a finback whale - ca. - 1870”.

The finback whale is the second-longest cetacean on Earth after the blue whale.

This is a vintage photograph and not a copy or reproduction.

Stereoview photograph measures 3 1/2 x 7 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases and is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity.
