It is not down in any map; true places never are.

The 1930 Random House edition of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; Or the Whale is a landmark in American literary history. Illustrated by the renowned artist Rockwell Kent, this edition played a pivotal role in reviving interest in Melville's masterpiece. At the time, Moby-Dick was considered a failure and had languished in relative obscurity since its initial publication in 1851. Thanks to Kent’s gorgeous woodcut illustrations, the 1930 edition cemented the novel’s place in the American literary canon.

This postcard set features 50 of Kent's original illustrations accompanied by 50 memorable quotes from the book, each of which repeat for a total of 100 postcards. A celebration of the beloved classic novel and one of America's most important and prolific illustrators, Moby Dick Postcards is a gorgeous gift for literature lovers, fishing enthusiasts, and beach-goers alike.
