Wood engraving, approximately 6-5/8" x 10½, 1978. Commissioned by The Arion Press, San Francisco, California for its monumental edition of Moby Dick designed by Andrew Hoyem.  Moser produced one hundred blocks, of which this is far and away the most dramatic and kinetic. The number of proofs is not known, but this copy is warmly inscribed "The working proof for the great whale from Moby Dick - for Dear Gordon - Barry" by Moser to his friend, the late bookseller and publisher Gordon Cronin. A spectacular accomplishment in its own right, framed using archival materials.
