Description
np: np, 1996. First edition. nb. Fine. EXTREMELY RARE LITHOGRAPH SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR GARTH WILLIAMS OF THE COVER ART FOR E.B. WHITE'S CLASSIC STUART LITTLE. WITH HAND-COLORING BY WILLIAMS. Pulled by hand from the original pen and ink drawing by Garth Williams. Marked "Bon à Tirer" ("ready for press") in pencil by the printer. This image was acquired directly from the lithographer; Williams added the delicate gray hand-coloring in this image as a guide for the lithographer to follow in coloring the full edition. Williams died in 1996 just after this "ready for press" lithograph was printed; therefore no copies of the final printing of approximately 300 were signed. 

 11.25 x 15 inches. Fine condition. A UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF GARTH WILLIAMS'S MOST DESIRABLE IMAGES.

Description
London: William Heinemann, 1898. FIRST EDITION. Original publisher’s slate-colored cloth with gilt stamping on front cover, and with the imprint on spine uniform. An excellent copy. First English edition (first printing), with “hi” missing from “his” on page 146. It was first published in America under the title Children of the sea. This allegorical novella is derived from Conrad’s personal experience aboard a voyage from Bombay to London. Exploring the themes of isolation and solidarity, the turbulent journey of James Wait and the crew of the Narcissus serves as a microcosm of the late nineteenth century shipping industry, and calls attention to the societal effects of suffering. Conrad (1857-1924) was a master of English-language prose. Known for his ability to depict trials of the human spirit, his works are regarded as some of the best to come out of the early twentieth century modernist movement. Writing at the height of the British Empire, Conrad drew from his own experiences to create his short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a Eurocentric world and that profoundly explore the human psyche.
