Description: Blue cloth boards with silver gilt lettering and illustration on spine, xix, 336 pp. 23 full-page bw illustrations. "First published in 1935, Salamina details artist and adventurer Rockwell Kent's second trip to Greenland. Salamina unfolds as a series of vivid vignettes, each illustrated with Kent's bold black and white drawings. Through his accounts of fishing trips and Christmas festivities, shared meals and budding friendships, Kent acquaints us with the Eskimo and Danish inhabitants of the small vibrant community of Igdlorssuit. Both the native people and the forbidding Arctic landscape held a special beauty for Kent, and he describes them with an artist's eye. Salamina is Kent's Eskimo housekeeper (kifak), who becomes a central figure in the book when she and her daughter come to share Kent's small hut for the year. Kent's wry self-reflection and his poetic meditations on nature, humanity and love make this an enduring classic of travel literature and artistic quest." - website description.

Description: "First Edition" stated; not price clipped -- original $3.75 price showing. (Inflation? What inflation?) Jacket shows minor chipping along top edge, and considerable edge wear along the front flap fold, though the main reason we downgrade to "good-plus" is because the jacket has age-toned considerably. Author has dated Sept. 10, 1936 and inscribed diagonally to the second blank "from an 'understanding soul,' 'Salamina' goes to Lena, for reasons only she, the book, can disclose!" The author has thus inscribed, but has not signed his name. First state jacket depicts Salamina bathing, not the substituted (second state) bird of prey. Kent's account of his year in a small village in North Greenland, with 22 full-page illustrations. 337 pp., reduced from $250.

In a married good plus first edition dust jacket with the original price of $3.75 at the top of the inside front flap. Chipping and pieces missing from the top and bottom of the spine ends. Binder's glue residue transfer along the rear panel spine fold. This copy is signed "Rockwell Kent" in black ink, and he has drawn in blue ink a wonderful Rube Goldberg-style drawing with a bleeding heart pierced by an arrow dripping into a wineglass; then the wineglass is overturned and nourishes a flower. This swirling toast with hearts and flowers in Kent's delicate hand is inscribed, "To Mike! Detroit, March 19th 1938." Rockewll Kent's early paintings of Mount Monadnock and New Hampshire were first shown at theSociety of American Artistsin New York in 1904, whenDublin Pondwas purchased bySmith College. In 1905 Kent ventured to Monhegan Island, Maine, and found its rugged and primordial beauty a source of inspiration for the next five years. His first series of paintings of Monhegan were shown to wide critical acclaim in 1907 at Clausen Galleries in New York. These works form the foundation of his lasting reputation as an early American modernist, and can be seen in museums across the country, including theMetropolitan Museum of Art,Seattle Art Museum,New Britain Museum of American Art, and theFine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Among those critics lauding Kent was James Huneker of theSun, who praised Kent's athletic brushwork and daring color dissonances.[6](It was Huneker who deemed the paintings ofThe Eightas "decidedly reactionary".)[7]In 1910, Kent helped organize the Exhibition of Independent Artists, and in 1911 together with Arthur B. Davies he organized An Independent Exhibition of the Paintings and Drawings of Twelve Men, referred to as "The Twelve" and "Kent's Tent". Painters Marsden Hartley,John Marin, andMax Weber(but not John Sloan, Robert Henri, or George Bellows) participated in the 1911 exhibition. A transcendentalist and mysticin the tradition of Thoreau and Emerson, whose works he read, Kent found inspiration in the austerity and stark beauty of wilderness. After Monhegan, he lived for extended periods of time inWinona, Minnesota(1912 1913),Newfoundland(1914 15),Alaska(1918 19),Vermont(1919 1925),Tierra del Fuego(1922 23),Ireland(1926), andGreenland(1929; 1931 32; 1934 35). His series of land and seascapes from these often forbidding locales convey the Symbolist spirit evoking the mysteries and cosmic wonders of the natural world. "I don't want petty self-expression", Kent wrote, "I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity."
