An illustrated edition of Billy Budd featuring woodcuts by celebrated artist Barry Moser. This edition of Billy Budd, Sailor presents Herman Melville’s iconic tale of the high seas alongside illustrations by renowned artist, publisher, and printmaker Barry Moser. Throughout his fifty-year career, Moser has illustrated more than three hundred books ranging from novels to children’s stories to the Bible. Through his Pennyroyal Press, Moser designs and prints fine-press, illustrated, and occasionally oversized books in very limited editions, which are beloved by collectors and bibliophiles. To coincide with the centenary of the novella’s posthumous publication, Moser created sixteen original woodcuts illustrating the scenes and characters of Billy Budd, Sailor, and this trade edition now makes these exquisite illustrations accessible to a wide audience. This illustrated edition adapts the text of the critical edition of the novella prepared for the Melville Electronic Library by John Bryant, Wyn Kelley, and Christopher Ohge.
