With a monochrome illustrated front cover of some sailors in a long boat attacking a sperm whale in the moonlight and in the distance other whales and the whaling mother ship.

'After moving the collections to the Court House in Darlinghurst, from 1849, Wall was living in the new but unfinished Museum in College Street. Wall wrote the first 'memoir' published by the Museum entitled, The History and description of the Skeleton of a New Sperm Whale lately set up in the Australian Museum( from the Australian Museum Archives).Undoubtedly, the now sadly obscure composer, George Strong composed this piece in honour of the Museums Sperm Whale exhibit. The title refers to the sound generating apparatus of the sperm whale, Physeter Catadon. The publisher George W. Hudson was only located at (377) Pitt St. North for part of 1851 and that helps to date the piece. Some occasional light spotting to little effect else condition VG.

	STRONG GEORGE.: The Catodon Polka. Sydney, G.W. Hudson. 1851. With a monochrome illustrated front cover of some sailors in a long boat attacking a sperm whale in the moonlight and in the distance other whales and the whaling mother ship. The short piece of music called the Catodon Polka was dedicated to William Sheridan Wall, the Curator of the Australian Museum. W.S. Wall (1815-76) was the Curator between 1844-58 when he retired due to ill health. 'After moving the collections to the Court House in Darlinghurst, from 1849, Wall was living in the new but unfinished Museum in College Street. Wall wrote the first 'memoir' published by the Museum entitled, The History and description of the Skeleton of a New Sperm Whale lately set up in the Australian Museum( from the Australian Museum Archives).Undoubtedly, the now sadly obscure composer, George Strong composed this piece in honour of the Museums Sperm Whale exhibit. The title refers to the sound generating apparatus of the sperm whale, Physeter Catadon. The publisher George W. Hudson was only located at (377) Pitt St. North for part of 1851 and that helps to date the piece. Some occasional light spotting to little effect else condition VG.
