Castle Garden: Louis Jullien, Daily Alta California, October 5, 1853

Castle Garden's Lead Painting

About the Black Whale Moby Dick Painting

This whale painting was sent to me by Dr. Sonia Das a college teacher in Toronto Canada. She said it was hanging in a Toronto Coffee House and that was all she knew about.

I have not been able to decipher the name in white text lettering at the bottom right hand corner of the painting, even after enlarging it.

If you know anything about this painting, please let me know. It seemed an appropriate icon for the 9-11 attack on downtown NY. That was a Moby Dick event for the United States and Osama was our Black Whale!
