Rockwell Kent Furniture

American, 1882-1971
Rockwell Kent, (1882-1971) was born in Plattsburgh, New York). As a painterand printmaker his work was captured scenes of nature and adventure with a sense of drama that made him one of the most popular American artists of the first half of the 20th century. Kent studied architecture at Columbia University but turned to painting and was a pupil of William M. Chase, Robert Henri, and Abbott Thayer. Best known as an artist and illustrator he worked as an architectural draftsman, as a lobsterman and carpenter on the coast of Maine, and as a ship’s carpenter. He explored the waters about Tierra del Fuego in a small boat and lived in Newfoundland, Alaska, and Greenland, drawing heavily upon these experiences for his paintings and travel books. Kent’s human figures, which appear sparingly in his work, often signify mythic themes, such as heroism, loneliness, and individualism.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Illustrated by Rockwell Kent, 1930
By Rockwell Kent
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Melville, Herman. Moby-Dick. New York: Random House, 1930. Illustrated by Rockwell Kent. First trade edition (thus). Octavo. Original publisher’s pictorial black cloth boards, stamped in silver. Original pictorial dust jacket. Presented with new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case, with raised bands, gilt tooling and titles to spine. Presented is a first trade edition (thus) of Moby-Dick; Or, the Whale by Herman Melville. First published in 1851, the book was reissued by Lakeside Press in 1930 in a three-volume limited edition, the first to feature Rockwell Kent's beautiful illustrations and limited to only 1000 copies. The limited edition quickly sold out and was followed by an equally popular one-volume trade edition, published later that year by Random House and printed by Lakeside Press. These two illustrated Rockwell Kent editions helped establish Moby-Dick as an American classic. The book featured here is the small format, one-volume first trade edition (thus), filled with Kent’s numerous illustrations. It is presented in the publisher’s original pictorial black cloth boards, stamped in silver, with the original illustrated dust jacket, and a new archival ¼ leather and clamshell case. Herman Melville began writing Moby-Dick in February of 1850. In preparation for his book, Melville spent a substantial amount of time researching the whaling business on a whole. The historical ship, Essex, that was attacked by a sperm whale in 1820 was a major inspiration for much of Melville’s plot. Even the memorable name of the monstrous whale in the story is derived from a historically aggressive whale off the coast of Chile named Mocha Dick. Melville also drew inspiration from his own time as a sailor in the 1840s. The book was first published in three volumes as The Whale in London in October 1851, by Richard Bentley. In November of that same year, it was published in New York under its definitive title, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, in a single-volume edition by Harper and Brothers. Moby-Dick was not a critical or popular success in Melville’s lifetime. Fewer than 4,000 copies were sold and the book was decades out of print by the turn of the twentieth century. The novel eventually received a positive reception from readers, literary figures, and critics in the 1920s. Most notably, biographer Raymond M. Weaver’s August 1919 article in The Nation, titled “The Centennial of Herman Melville,” and his subsequent full-length biography helped launch the “Melville Revival” of the 1920s. Moby-Dick was also well considered in critic Carl Van Doren’s discussion of “The American Novel” in 1921 and novelist D. H. Lawrence’s “Studies in Classic American Literature” in 1923. With the help of these 1920s literary tastemakers, Melville and Moby-Dick were rescued from historical obscurity and secured their place in the American literary canon. As Moby-Dick came to be viewed as a great work of American literature, it started to appear in expensive editions geared toward collectors of rare and special books. When Lakeside Press decided to launch their "Four American Books" campaign, they reached out to painter and illustrator Rockwell Kent. Lakeside Press asked Kent to design an illustrated edition of Richard Henry Dana...
