The Old Man and the Sea (1953 First Illustrated Edition)

A 1953 first illustrated edition of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, published by The Reprint Society in London and the second UK edition overall. Illustrated with works by both Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe and Raymond Sheppard, whose contrasting styles were deemed so compelling that both were included. Bound in original green-blue cloth with silver marlin motif, pictorial endpapers, and dust jacket, this edition presents Hemingway’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novella in a striking and collectible form.
