FIRST EDITION OF THIS VERY BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED WORK BY RUDYARD KIPLING. THE W. HEATH ROBINSON ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SUPERB BY ANY MEASURE. The trade edition of this volume was issued to benefit the "Daily Telegraph" National Bands Fund and includes the text of a speech given by Kipling on the subject: "From the lowest point of view a few drums and fifes in a battalion are worth five extra miles on a route march." Robinson’s highly sensuous illustrations perfectly complement Kipling’s poems of British seafaring around the world. The grand poem SONG OF THE ENGLISH is followed by six subsidiary poems likely composed while the Kiplings were living in Vermont. The theme underlying much of this collection is that the English are the Chosen under the Lord. This is one of Kipling’s earliest verses specifically setting out his vision of the British Empire and the duties which it imposes on the English people. His definition of 'the English' is wide certainly embracing the people of the overseas Empire Australia New Zealand Canada South Africa but arguably also the Americans among whom he lived in the years working on the collection. "The next important task I undertook was the illustration of an edition of Rudyard Kipling's A SONG OF THE ENGLISH to be published.in the year 1908. It became necessary for me to meet the author and discuss the proposed book with him. For this purpose I traveled down to Burwash where he lived at that time. This was an excursion I shall always remember. I was met a Heathfield and journeyed thence in a motor-car. There were few cars on the road in those days and this in itself was a joyful experience as we drove through the pleasant Sussex lanes. Bateman's the house at Burwash where Rudyard Kipling lived was a fine old building with stone mullioned windows. It was in the midst of wind-blown Sussex country. Three was a faint smell of the sea in the air wafting across the few miles of country from the shore where the Coastwise lights of England watch the ships of England go. It was a fitting setting in which to find the author of A SONG OF THE ENGLISH. He met and entertained me with a quiet affability which speedily removed the shyness I felt at first in his presence. Before long I was quite at home with him. His own knowledge of illustration gave him an appreciation of the artist's point of view. While making suggestions he realized that the illustrator must have a free a hand as possible. His sympathetic understanding of my part in the undertaking made me feel tha I was consulting with a brother artist. I spent a happy and for me a helpful day. It was a great inspiration for the work I had in hand to be in such close association with the author's interesting personalty. i am always glad to remember that he was satisfied with my illustrations to his book."

The whole professionally matted framed and glazed in an attractive black and gilt frame. Overall frame size approximately 16 1/2 x 21 inches 419 x 535 mm. An attractive framed presentation incorporating an authentic autograph of Rudyard Kipling one of the most celebrated English writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865 and spent much of his early life in British India an experience which profoundly influenced his literary career. His extraordinary range encompassed poetry short stories novels and children's literature. His best-known works include The Jungle Book 1894 The Second Jungle Book 1895 Kim 1901 and Just So Stories for Little Children 1902 together with such celebrated poems as "Mandalay" "Gunga Din" "Recessional" and "If - ." In 1907 Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature becoming both the first English-language recipient and at the age of forty-one the youngest recipient to that date. The Nobel committee praised his powers of observation originality of imagination virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration. The autograph itself is particularly appealing: it is a clean legible example of Kipling's familiar flowing signature with the distinctive formation of the capital R and K and it presents extremely well within the custom display. n.p.: , 1900 unknown

1901Best.-Nr. 134755London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1901. First English edition of what many consider Kipling’s masterpiece. Octavo original cloth. Illustrated with photographs of clay reliefs by John Lockwood Kipling including tissue-guarded frontispiece two pages of advertisements at rear. In near fine condition. An exceptional example. Kim unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel made the term "Great Game" popular and introduced the theme of great power rivalry and intrigue. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881 but before the Third probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people culture and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India its teeming populations religions and superstitions and the life of the bazaars and the road." Considered by many to be Kipling's masterpiece opinion appears varied about its consideration as children's literature or not. Roger Sale in his history of children's literature concludes "Kim is the apotheosis of the Victorian cult of childhood but it shines now as bright as ever long after the Empire's collapse." It was the basis for the 1950 film starring Errol Flynn Dean Stockwell and Paul Lukas. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel." Macmillan and Co., Limited hardcover
