We won’t get overly concerned over the fact that this particular mammal comes equipped with a fish’s tail. And having noted that the sailor’s hat is in the upper left of the last panel, what the hey is that round, black object just above the whale??
It was drawn in 1907. How many people at that time, do you think, had actually seen a whale, or really knew what one looked like? Look around for images of whales from that time. They are not too accurate. This might have been the best image Mr. McCay could come up with.
Wow!They really hated whales back then!. “Oh look a whale” today’s response—“Get the camera! Bring your friend! How beautiful!” Back then—-“GET THE HARPOON! You kill it! I don’t care!” If only they saw Star Trek IV.

My guess it’s the sailor’s hat, with the tam top facing the audience

Maybe a bedrail is the solution?
