Moby-Dick was unquestionably Kent's magnum opus, executed at the highpoint of his career. The book, designed by William A. Kittredge, printer at the Lakeside press, was 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 be found among all the editions of his works. Kent's illustrations are now perhaps the best known illustrations for Moby-Dick and are certainly among the most effective" (Tanselle). The three-volume Lakeside edition, of which 1,000 copies were printed, was one of the AIGA's "Fifty Books of the Year" for 1930 and was the only example of Kent's work chosen for inclusion in the 1961 exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Mr. Dan Burne Jones, author of The Prints of Rockwell Kent (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1976) reports that a total of five sets of the Moby-Dick illustrations were prepared. In one set, owned by the printer Kittredge, the prints were individually signed. The others, he believes, were sold in the 'forties, two at Hanzel Galleries in Chicago. See Eleanor M.
