Candide

Magnificent art-deco-inspired pen-and-ink drawings of Rockwell Kent illustrate this lovely edition of Voltaire's magnum opus from 1759. Identical in format, with all of Kent's illustrations intact, to the Limited Edition first published by Random House in 1928, except for a few minor changes in the translation resulting from further collation with the original text, in 112 pages & a Bibliographical Note & Additional Statement for the Random House Reprint. Hardcover book has light violet cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to front & spine, which is quite sunned, the fading wrapping around onto both boards, as well as at top edges of both. Corners bumped. Else, completely clean, vellum-like pages are creamy white. A lovely edition in solidly VG+ condition! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (PST); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
