This Moby Dick poster was created using the first 26 chapters of the book. 

This Moby Dick poster uses Melville’s impassioned and ardent words to illustrate the sweeping final moments of Captain Ahab as he comes face to face with his imminent death through the form of the immense and abhorrent Moby Dick. Tossed about by the waves as if a mere toy, Captain Ahab’s ship is torn asunder by the thrashing of the aquatic Goliath; as Moby Dick dives into the fathoms of the great deep, his beautiful and deadly tail rises menacingly above the Captain’s tiny and insignificant vessel .This intense and suspenseful scene explores Ahab’s mindless mania to take revenge on a brutal beast of nature and the consequences of such a consuming pursuit.

Moby Dick is the passionate tale of a man of intense resolve consumed by his own struggle for justice against one of nature’s most colossal beasts; our poster appropriates the final confrontation and presents an alluringly wild illustration of Captain Ahab’s last stand.
