Exhibitor HighlightsF. Scott FitzgeraldThe Great Gatsby, 1925. A first edition, first printing, first state of the text, in the first issue dust jacket, a stupendous example, untouched by restoration or repair.

The iconic jacket was designed by Francis Cugat. Charles Scribner III ("Celestial Eyes - from Metamorphosis to Masterpiece") argues that not only is the jacket recognized as the most eloquent in American literary history, but that Cugat's artwork demonstrably had an effect on Fitzgerald's evolution of his literary masterpiece, as the author responded to sketches and artwork shown to him before the book was complete, a perhaps unique occurrence in literary history.Courtesy of Peter Harrington
