Description: Moby Dick by Herman Melville illustrated by Rockwell KentPublisher & Year: New York: Random House, 1930 - Edition: First edition illustrated by Rockwell Kent. Not only one of the most iconic illustrated books of the twentieth century, but an edition that invigorated interest in what had been Melville's largely ignored magnum opus. - Description & Condition: Black boards illustrated with silver-colored gilt. The boards are rubbed with tips that are lightly pushed and exposed. The gilt presents well but is likewise a bit rubbed. Hinges and binding sturdy. Previous owner's name in pencil on the front flyleaf. Faint evidence of pencil erasure mark the front flyleaf (an old price) and the text block foredge. No writing or underlining in the text. A few notable staining spots on page 70 and 71. Otherwise, the pages are lightly tanned but largely clean with only an occasional imperfection. - “As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” ― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale - Inventory ID: 521 - 086 - 444
