Rockwell Kent is one of America's most famous graphic artists. He
was also an avid traveler. Kent was especially fascinated by remote
Arctic lands and often stayed for extended periods of time to
paint, write, and become acquainted with the local inhabitants.
Between 1918 and 1935, he wrote and illustrated several popular
books about his travels. Voyaging, originally published in 1924, is
the engaging story of Kent's sailing voyage to Tierra del Fuego.
Kent is a charming writer and keen observer of both the land and
its people. The book is beautifully and generously illustrated with
Kent's distinctive woodcuts.
The first edition was published to great critical acclaim. New
Republic wrote, "the land lives. A land where roses are as big as
sun-flowers, where gales gnaw against bleak cliffs . . . At the end
of the earth, there is the paradox of the dwarf and the giant." The
Nation said, "Kent has caught the wild beauty of this ominous
region -- iron crags ringed with the froth of blown surf,
wind-tortured trees, distant peaks incrusted with dazzling snow;
but out of the very heart of this bewildering beauty emanates a
sense of unseen presences appallingly, implacably hostile to man."
