The Archives of the Saalfild Publishing Company were purchased by Kent State University and housed there.

This edition was illustrated by Alfred Conyers, with seven illustrations, contains 309 printed pages.

Here are 5 copies of Saalfield Moby-Dick's, all Identical with the exception of size and color of the binding.



For later inclusion I am preparing a series of posts of the various illustrations of Ahab.
