Moby-Dick: A Picture Voyage is a sweeping pictorial odyssey of the whaling culture wrapped around a very readable and meticulously edited condensation of Melville's classic. Though abridged, the book maintains the drama and continuity of the original novel and is heavily illustrated with more than 200 original photographs and more than 150 paintings, drawings, engravings and artifacts.

 Published in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Moby-Dick, this work richly illustrates the original story as it recreates what Melville may have experienced during his time on the whaling ship Acushnet.
