The series of twelve ‘Whale Fishery’ plates has a counterpart series of twelve ‘Herring Fishery’ plates. Both series are decorated after the print series of the “Groote Visserij” (“Great Fishery”) engraved by Adolf van der Laan (circa 1690-1742), and published by Petrus Schenk in Amsterdam around 1720 says Robert Aronson of Aronson Antiquairs in Amsterdam.
