Part of Zeemonster gevangen tussen Scheveningen en Katwijk, 1661

The black and white newsprint depicts an image of a very large, open-mouthed with eight tentacles on top, spread out in different directions. The creature is on land, next to a body of water, and surrounded by small shells and miscellaneous items. Behind it, in the water, there are small ships and two small clusters of buildings on land in the distance on the left and right, one labeled "SCHEVELINGEN" and "CATWYCK OP ZEE", respectively. Underneath the image are the words "EEN VVONDERLYCK ZEE - MONSTER TE SIEN" followed by a paragraph of text in Dutch discussing the creature.
