rif. 06180Lahore: The "Civil and Military Gazette Press 1885. One of Rudyard Kipling's Earliest Publications Containing the First Appearance of "The Phantom Rickshaw" KIPLING Rudyard. 1885 Quartette. The Christmas Annual of the Civil & Military Gazette by Four Anglo-Indian Writers. Lahore: The "Civil and Military Gazette Press 1885. First Edition. Tall octavo 9 5/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 245 x 146 mm. 2 blank 2 title printed in red and black verso blank 2 Contents verso blank 1-125 1 blank seven leaves of advertisements: 2 pink 2 gray 3 thinner cream-colored. Handsomely bound by C. Fox of London ca. 1885 with their stamp on verso of free endpaper. Full green morocco covers decoratively bordered in gilt. Spine with five shallow raised bands decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt ruled board edges decorative gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers. Armorial bookplate "Think and Thank" on front pastedown. Original front and rear printed wrappers bound in. Front wrapper with design by the Mayo School of Art Lahore with early ink signature "L.C. Ibbetson" on top blank margin. This is a complete copy of the first edition first impression of a book authored by members of the Kipling family. Published in a limited run of 250 copies it was bound around the time of publication and it is particularly rare to have its original wrappers and advertisements at the end. The book marks the first appearance of The Phantom 'Rickshaw and The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes C.E. Rudyard Kipling later described the origins of this work in his 1937 autobiography Something of Myself recalling that "in the cold weather of 1885 we four made up a Christmas annual which pleased us a good deal and attracted a certain amount of attention. Later much later it became a 'collector's piece' in the US book-market and to that extent smudged the memories of its birth." The collection consists of 16 pieces-eight in prose and eight in verse-written by "four Anglo-Indian writers" as stated on the title page. The authors who remained anonymous throughout were Kipling himself his father mother and sister. Kipling took the initiative to publish the book through the Civil and Military Gazette selling it by subscription. At just 19 years old he contributed half of the content using this opportunity to bring his work into print. His ghost stories gained wider recognition when they were later reprinted in The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Tales 1890. Kipling's father however was somewhat reluctant about the publication. He wrote to Margaret Burne-Jones expressing his hope that someone would "rap Rudyard's knuckles for the unwholesomeness of The Phantom 'Rickshaw and the coarseness of The Tragedy of Teeth." The book's binding process was notably chaotic. Kipling recalled that the work took place at night by candlelight with workers on overtime incentivized with brandy and free tobacco to keep production moving. Over forty men including binders were involved in assembling Quartette. The publication was officially announced on 19 December and its cover design is believed to have been created by Kipling's father John Lockwood Kipling who was then the first principal of the Mayo School of Art in Lahore.

1885rif. BIBLIO-47698The "Civil and Military Gazette" Press Lahore first edition1885. Edition of 250 copies. Contemporary blind-patterned cloth original printed wrappers and advertisement leaves if any not retained 8vo. 125 pp. David Richards' authoritative bibliography notes that the advertisements present in many though not all copies do not form part of the book. Includes the first appearance of 'The Phantom Rickshaw'. Quartette was sold on the 19-year old Kipling's initiative as the 1885 Christmas supplement to the Civil & Military Gazette the Indian newspaper for which he was then journalist and general provider of material. It includes 16 works - eight in prose and eight poems - by Kipling himself and by his parents and sister the most notable being Rudyard's "The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes C.E." and "The Phantom 'Rickshaw". Only 250 copies were printed and Kipling wrote amusingly to his cousin Margaret Burne-Jones about the chaotic circumstances of the production: copies were printed and bound up in the Civil & Military Gazette printing hall on overtime throughout the 'mad night' of 17-18 December 1885 with tots of brandy and plugs of free tobacco from Kipling 'twelve pounds of the hideous mixture of cow dung and dried grass they delight in' to encourage the 'forty odd men besides binders to keep Quartette going' ". Joints showing slight splitting though firm and sound some wear at spine-ends front endpapers replaced and with old tape-repair to first endpaper and minor loss to foot of gutter of second endpapers tanned textblock Good.
