Engraving titled "Le Poulpe Colossal" showing a gigantic octopus rising from churning waves and attacking a three-masted sailing ship. Its large round eyes face the viewer while its long, spotted tentacles coil up the masts, wrap around the rigging, and grip the ornate stern of the tilting vessel. Pennants fly from the mastheads, birds circle in the sky, and a distant shoreline with hills and palm trees appears on the horizon. The scene is rendered in fine line and stipple work, with plate markings "Pl. XXVI" and "T. 2. P. 256" above and credits to Denys-Montfort and E. Voysard below.
