Add to basketxxxii, 822, [2] pp. Octavo. No dust-jacket. Original blue cloth with gilt whale design on spine and facade. Gilt lettering on spine. Trimmed edges. Previous owner's bookplate on paste-down. Inscribed by previous owner on front free-endpaper in blue ink. Half-title included. B/W frontispiece. Further B/W illustrations throughout…book, all by Rockwell Kent. Kent's illustrations in this edition have been taken from his drawings in The Lakeside Press three volume limited edition. Illustrations unreferenced in contents. Very little dentng to cloth boards or spine. Cloth of book well-preserved outside of very minor tears at the top and bottom edges of spine. Slight fading and loss of gilt to spine. Minor discoloration to facade as well as slight loss of gilt due to wear over time. Minor staining to fore-edge. Interior is extremely clean and undamaged. A good copy of this 1937, De Luxe edition. The still renowned and widely studied 1851 novel, Moby Dick, otherwise known as the Whale, followed a mass of whale-hunters and their subject, Moby Dick, a white sperm-whale. The novel, in its tumultuous development, worked to symbolize and analyze theism while remaining in many ways ambiguous. Considered to be one of the greatest pieces of American literature ever produced, the thematic intensity of Moby Dick is heightened in this edition by way of Rockwell Kent's illustrative contributions. Dying in 1971, Kent was a highly regarded American painter, illustrator, writer, sailor, and adventurer.

Add to basketCondition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Octavo. It was these Rockwell Kent illustrations which put Moby Dick in the consciousness of America and the world. On the map, so to speak, in 1930. The reputation of what is arguably the greatest American novel was not established until 1930, 80 years after Melville began… writing it, when Random House published an edition with these very Rockwell Kent illustrations. This 1944 edition, in original dust jacket, came shortly thereafter. Melville began work on Moby Dick in 1850 and the work was published in 1851 to mixed reviews. Only 500 copies were printed in Britain and 2,915 in America. Neither sold out and three years later 1st Edition copies were still available. And thus, Moby Dick was relegated to the dust bin of obscurity. Enter ROCKWELL KENT, one of the most sought-after illustrators of the first half of the 20th century, with a world-wide following. Kent's illustrations were reprinted with permission from the Lakeside Press, which had just produced its own three-volume edition of the seminal classic. Kent's 280 woodcut Art Deco illustrations, coupled with a superb production by Random House, helped create THE consummate edition of Moby Dick and launched Melville's novel to iconic status. Bound in grey cloth with titles in gilt, blocked in green. 822pp. Square tight binding. Clean interior. Dust jacket is in very good condition with mild edge wear and rubbing and a few creases. Colors still vivid and bright. Presents handsomely in archival mylar. A lovely and quite desirable copy. Rockwell Kent (illustrator).

"Probabl…y the most impressive single work in American literature" - A. Mizener quoted in FAMOUS AMERICAN BOOKS, 16. {Tanselle, CHECKLIST OF THE EDITIONS OF MOBY DICK, 18} Kent's illustrations are now perhaps the best-known illustrations for MOBY DICK and are certainly among the most effective --Tanselle's MOBY DICK Checklist, 17."
