Joseph Conrad. Heart of Darkness. Limited Editions Club, 1992.
Price: US$4150.00 + shipping
Condition: As New
Description: In 1890, Joseph Conrad shipped out from Brussels to the Congo, to rescue a Monsieur Klein, ailing agent of a Belgian trading company dealing in ivory. In Heart of Darkness, it is Marlow who ships out from Brussels and sails up the Congo to rescue Mr. Kurtz. Kurtz had come with the noble aim of enlightening the natives. Instead, they envelope him in darkness. As Conrad startles the reader out of complacency, so does Sean Scully with his etchings. Born in Ireland, Scully is one of the world's most renowned artists. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. Here we have Scully's eight etchings created expressly and exclusively for this edition. 4 full-page etchings and 4 half-page etchings by Sean Scully. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Sean Scully. Sean Scully's etchings are printed on stock from Cartiere Enrico Magnani, in Italy. The book is hand-bound in Nigerian goatskin. Its hinged and lined box is covered in black Italian cotton. One volume, 10 x 12 inches. Portfolios, an edition of twelve Exhibition sets, are available.
