While working on the big poster for whales of the Mediterranean, I suddenly thought of another mediterranean whale ID guide I had made. It's much smaller and less detailed, it features species that don't occur there as much as others (I didn't have internet there so didn't do extensive research) but still, this being an oldish handdrawn piece it just held a certain charm for me.
