Taber's atmospheric illustrations of life and peril on the Grand Banks. Author: Rudyard Kipling. Title: 'Captains Courageous': A Story of the Grand Banks. Illustrator: I. W. Taber Isaac Walton Taber.

Taber including the dramatic frontispiece of the We're Here battling heavy seas and numerous full-page maritime scenes depicting schooners fishing boats the Grand Banks fleet and the principal characters. Taber's vigorous pen-and-ink work is particularly well suited to Kipling's North Atlantic setting. The book: Captains Courageous follows Harvey Cheyne the spoiled teenage son of a wealthy American industrialist who falls overboard from a transatlantic liner and is rescued by the crew of the Gloucester fishing schooner We're Here. Unable to persuade the fishermen of his wealth or importance Harvey is put to work alongside them for the remainder of the season. Life aboard the schooner—dangerous disciplined and utterly removed from his privileged upbringing—gradually transforms him. First published in book form in 1897 the novel grew from Kipling's fascination with New England maritime culture and the hazardous cod fishery of the Grand Banks. The result is one of his most vivid adventure stories rich in nautical detail fishermen's speech and descriptions of the North Atlantic.

1899réf. 149009England and The United States: The Daily Mail Publishing Co 1899. First illustrated facsimile edition of Kipling's poem The Absent-Minded Beggar a souvenir specially printed by The Daily Mail. Quarto silk moire wrappers six pages tissue-guarded frontispiece with tissue-guards between the two pages of facsimile stanzas cover portrait of Kipling by John Collier. Originally printed as a single folded sheet forming six printed pages in triptych format. The souvenir marked the 100th performance of Sydney Grundy's The Degenerates at the Garrick Theatre on Friday 24th October 1899 when Lillie Langtry who was playing Mrs. Trevelyan in the production recited Kipling's poem The Absent-Minded Beggar from the stage after the final curtain. The proceeds of the sale of the poem benefited the wives and children of the reservists. In good condition. Interior illustration of "A Gentleman in Kharki" by R. Caton Woodville. Rudyard Kipling’s The Absent-Minded Beggar first published at the outbreak of the Second Boer War 1899–1902 is a notable example of patriotic literature mobilized for imperial causes. Written to rally support for British troops and their families the poem was quickly transformed into a piece of popular ephemera with the first illustrated edition marketed through The Daily Mail as part of a charitable appeal. The publication’s sales generated significant funds for the reservists’ families illustrating how literature journalism and philanthropy intersected within the culture of British imperialism.
