Octavo, finely bound in full crushed dark green morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling and gilt ship vignette cornerpieces to the front and rear panel, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In fine condition. A stunning example.
Arguably the greatest of all American novels, Moby-Dick was initially “a complete practical failure, misunderstood by the critics and ignored by the public; and in 1853 the Harper’s fire destroyed the plates of all his books and most of the copies remaining in stock (only about 60 copies of Moby-Dick survived the fire)… [Nevertheless,] Melville’s permanent fame must always rest on the great prose epic of Moby-Dick, a book that has no equal in American literature for variety and splendor of style and for depth of feeling” (DAB).
