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.
