1901réf. 136986London: 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 fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco made by Asprey and Garrard. 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

Scott was a Washington pediatrician who founded Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease and received international acclaim for researching the painful genetic blood disorder that predominantly affects blacks. Dr. Scott was chairman of pediatrics at Howard from 1949 to 1973 and also had a private pediatric practice in the city. By the 1950s with a growing reputation for his sickle cell research he was among the first black doctors granted privileges at such facilities as Children's and Providence hospitals according to press reports at the time. The Washington Post noted then that several hospitals had an 'unwritten ban against Negro physicians.' Dr. Scott started the Center for Sickle Cell Disease in 1972 with a grant from the National Institutes of Health and remained director until his retirement in 1990." - Washington Post Obit.
