Add to basketSigned to colophon by Rockwell Kent, the illustrator, and numbered as 658 out of a 1850 limited run. Toning to pages and some slight discoloration to both paste down pages. Small pencil mark to upper corner of front paste down. Binding is tight and interior is quite clean with black and white illustrations. Some light soil to front and back linen covered boards as well as some tanning to the linen. Light soiling to spine ends as well as some wear to the fabric. Overall a very good+ edition of this copy. Rockwell Kent was a multifaceted individual with a diverse range of talents and interests. His accomplishments as a dairy farmer, artist, architect, explorer/sailor, political activist, and writer showcase his versatility. Kent's ability to excel in various fields is reminiscent of the Renaissance ideal of a well rounded individual. Kent had a willingness to express criticisms of popular policies of his time. He encouraged artists and writers to be independent and commit to their convictions. The New York Times characterized him as a "thoughtful, troublesome, profoundly independent, odd and kind man." His contribution to the art of book making in the United States further solidifies his place in literary history. Kent's unique signature, both as a writer and illustrator, has left a lasting imprint on the cultural landscape.
