Lot Description
[LIMITED EDITIONS CLUB]. SCULLY, Sean (b. 1945), illustrator. -- CONRAD, Joseph (1857-1924). Heart of Darkness. New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1992.

Large 4to. 8 etchings by Sean Scully. Original black morocco gilt; publisher's folding case.

LIMITED EDITION, number 13 of 300 copies, SIGNED BY SCULLY. Heart of Darkness was originally printed as a three-part serial in Blackwood's Magazine from February-April 1899 to celebrate the publication's one hundredth anniversary. Though the novella received little notice during Conrad’s lifetime, it received a critical reappraisal after Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre adapted it into a 1938 radio play which reimagined it as depicting the rise of a fascist dictator. Forty years later Francis Ford Coppola would reinterpret it again in his Academy Award-winning classic Apocalypse Now. Original prospectus laid-in.
