Limited Editions Club The Red Badge of Courage 1944 Signed Stephen Crane
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. Created for the Limited Editions Club in 1944. Limited to 1,000 copies (this is #593). Beautiful illustrations drawn by John Steuart Curry, with the plates engraved by Pioneer-Moss from Steuart's sketches. The drawings for this edition were made with a sanguine pencil, and were reproduced with plates which are printed in the same sanguine color, and behind each drawing there was added a light buff tint to add strength and warmth. The book was designed by Carl Purington Rollins, Printer to Yale University, and is printed throughout in three colors. The paper is a smooth white rag sheet made by the Worthy Paper Company of Newark, Delaware.
The paper was made for a wartime use, and has an unusual white color. The printing was done by the Aldus Printers of New York. The binding is full leather and is signed by John Steuart Curry.
The pages and interior of the book are in excellent condition but the covers and slipcase show signs of ware. In particular, the spine is in poor condition and will likely need to be repaired if this item is more than for display of the use of the drawings inside (see pictures for detail).
