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 (rubbing); publisher's folding case (rubbing). LIMITED EDITION, number 213 of 300 copies, SIGNED BY SCULLY. Heart of Darkness was originally printed as a three-part serial in Blackwood's Magazine from February to 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 that reimagined it as a depiction of 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. This lot is located in Chicago.

Fisher Unwin, 1895, title-page printed in red and black, some spotting largely confined to front and rear, ink presentation inscription to front free endpaper in an unidentified hand, 'To dear Ted with the Author's love', partly uncut, original green cloth lettered in gilt, rubbed and slightly marked, spine browned and frayed at head and foot, 8vo QTY: (1) NOTE: This is the first state, with type dropped in the bottom two lines on p. 110. Though not in his hand the presentation inscription is from the author to Ted who may possibly be Edward Lancelot Sanderson. Conrad first met Sanderson in 1893, when the budding novelist was serving as chief mate onboard the Torrens. Also onboard were Sanderson and John Galsworthy who both became lifelong friends with Conrad. Sanderson and his wife became two of Conrad's closest friends and Conrad dedicated his second book, An Outcast of the Islands (1896) to Sanderson. John Galsworthy's presentation copy of this book from Conrad was simply inscribed 'From the Author', albeit in Conrad's hand.
