Lahore: The Civil and Military Gazette Press 1886. First edition of Kipling's first published book. Narrow octavo 10 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches; 273 x 107 mm. Twenty-nine unnumbered leaves. Publisher's tan printed wrappers stapled as issued and imitating the form of an Indian civil service envelope complete with overlapping flap. There is an ink inscription at the bottom of the front wrapper "E.R.P to M.C.P." Light soiling to wrappers edge of front wrapper and flap with some light wear. The pink ribbon that originally passed through the slit on the flap is now lacking the flap itself and its very vulnerable hinge to the overlapping flap is unrestored and intact.

Contained in a red cloth chemise which in turn is housed in a full red morocco slipcase smooth spine lettered in gilt. Aside from the aforementioned minor flaws this is still an exceptionally good unrestored copy. First edition of Kipling's debut published work. His previous writings had either been privately printed issued as offprints or included in collaborative books. At the time Kipling was serving as sub-editor of the Civil and Military Gazette an English-language newspaper based in Lahore that covered the lives of the Civil Service and the Indian Army in Punjab. His position combined with his family's social standing afforded him numerous opportunities to observe and explore the full spectrum of life in India. From an early age Kipling had been captivated by the vibrant and diverse world of native India and his keen observational skills allowed him to vividly capture its essence. As his engagement with journalism deepened he frequently filled the newspaper's pages with prose sketches and light verse. Eventually he began inserting his own poems under the title Departmental Ditties into the newspaper culminating in the publication of this edition designed to resemble a bundle of civil service memoranda.

1894réf. 149681London: Macmillan 1894-95. First editions of both volumes of The Jungle Book. Octavo two volumes original blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt all edges gilt engraved tissue-guarded frontispiece illustrated by J. L. Kipling W.H. Drake and P. Frenzeny. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities. Near ownership inscriptions. An exceptional example. The Jungle Book is a collection of fables which provide moral instruction by using animals anthropomorphically. Each story begins and ends with a verse and the original publications contain some illustrations created by Rudyard's father John Lockwood Kipling. The inspiration for the book is evident. Kipling was born in India and he spent his childhood there. Interestingly Kipling wrote these stories when he lived in Vermont. The Jungle Book is used to develop the morale of the junior element of the Scouting movement "The Cub Scouts". The name of the head wolf "Akela" has been traditionally given to each Cub Scout pack leader. At least fifteen movies were released based on Kipling's stories beginning with Elephant Boy in 1937. A live-action anticipated version of Jungle Book will be released in October of 2018 by Warner Brothers. Macmillan hardcover

Tout commence en 1919 pour beaucoup la révolution apportée par les Editions MORNAY fut l'utilisation systématique de l'illustration pour les ouvrages édités par cette maison.Il faut savoir que jusqu'alors l'illustration était réservée aux editions dites "de Luxe" qualificatif qui indiquait à la fois un soin tout particulier apporté à l'édition à la composition mais aussi un prix élevé qui ne permettait pas à tous d'acquerir ces ouvrages et les réservés ainsi aux classes les plus aisées de la société.En ce début de XXeme siécle un certain nombre de maison d'édition se lancérent sur le créneau de ce que l'on appela le livre de "demi-luxe" eut égard aux prix plus modéré pratiqué pour ces ouvrages. Ouvrages qui pour autant permettaient de découvrir des auteurs de tout premier ordre et étaient imprimé avec une attention toute particuliére sur des velins de qualité. Pour autant les illustrations n'étaient qu'exception dans ce genre d'edition.Antoinette et Georges MORNAY ont pensés une organisation qui allait bien au-delà de ce "coté visible de l'iceberg" que fut le recours permanent aux illustrateurs. Leur concept de maison d'edition etait global et trés "marketing" dirions nous aujourd'hui :- Prix de vente trés bas augmentant néanmoins au fil des années avec le succés mais qui n'acceptait aucun compris tant sur la qualité de l'impression papier gravure etc. que sur le choix des auteurs et des illustrateurs .- Création d'un Service de Presse qui par les livres offert aux journalistes donna aux Editions MORNAY une publicité non négligeable.- Campagne de publicité pouvant être de grande envergure Article de Maurice CONSTANTIN-MEYER sur Maria Chapdelaine dans l'Illustration de NOEL 1931De tout cela il nous reste aujourd'hui un formidable ensemble de textes et d'auteurs comprenant 112 ouvrages edités de 1919 à 1935 qui retrace l'évolutions de ces editions du livre illustré moderne : des bois gravé en noir jusqu'aux aquarelles au pochoir.
