Hard Cover. Zustand: Good binding. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Poor dust jacket. Octavo. xxxi, [1], 822, [6] pp., illus. Self-styled, "De Luxe Edition." Here signed by Kent on the front free endpper. As issued, in publisher's cloth with Kent illustration in gilt on the front cover. Spine partially sunned; unfortunate predation to the cloth of the back joint, otherwise, binding is quite fresh with only light fraying at the tail of the spine; bookplate on the front pastedown; contents clean and binding solid; dust jacket with large loss of the spine and a portion of the rear panel; front flap is separated but present, all held together in a mylar cover. Poor to Fair jacket. Tanselle, in his A Checklist of Editions of Moby-Dick, 1851-1976, writes of the first, quarto edition of Kent's work: "The most elaborate physical presentation which had been accorded to Moby-Dick up to this time, and one of the finest examples of bookmaking to found among all the editions of his work. Kent's illustrations are now perhaps the best-known illustrations for Moby-Dick and are certainly among the most effective" (from Tanselle, No. 17). And indeed, Kent's illustration is singular and captured in this present Garden City edition (Tanselle, No. 18c) which was printed by the Lakeside Press, after an American and a British trade edition in a reduced-size, one-volume format (as here) was printed for Random House and Cassell respectively. Rare with Kent's signature.

First Rockwell Kent edition, limited to 1,000 copies. This copy is additionally inscribed by Kent on the front free endpaper in pencil: "Inscribed to Mr Lessing Rosenthal by Rockwell Kent - December 5th 1930". It is also inscribed below, "William A. Kittredge: Printer". On the rear pastedown is pencilled, "11/28/30 R. R. Donnelly & Sons co. 3 vols subscription price". Lessing Rosenthal (1868-1949) was a lawyer, trustee of Johns Hopkins University, and member of the Bibliographical Society of America, the Caxton Club, and the Chicago Literary Society. His bequest bookplate for the University of Chicago, later stamped with a deaccession stamp, is on the front pastedown. The publisher approached Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) in 1926 to illustrate Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast (1840). But Kent demurred, selecting instead Moby Dick (1851). He had complete creative control over his edition and "spent five years researching and designing his project, during which time he discovered many of the 19th-century textual and visual sources that had influenced Melville" (Abrams, p. 377). The result has not only been hailed among the great American illustrated books of the century, but it has also been credited with reviving public interest in a sublime but difficult novel. It was published in the press's Four American Books campaign, designed to rival the European book market. All copies sold by subscription before printing began. Grolier Fine Printed 100, 22.
