1900ref. 9720London c. 1900. Second Anglo-Boer War souvenir handkerchief 45 x 45 cm printed in blue ink on fine linen a couple of trivial spots blank verso. Set in the borders of a map showing the contested regions of South Africa chiefly Orange Free State and Transvaal is the text of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Absent-Minded Beggar' with the music of Arthur Sullivan. The map is further adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Field Marshal Lord Roberts who was commander of British forces in the field between December 1899 and December 1900. It was published by the Daily Mail then a relatively new but highly successful British newspaper: established in 1896 its circulation had soared to over a million - the largest in the world - by the war's end in 1902. Kipling presented his poem to the Mail which established a charitable fund soon known as the Absent Minded Beggar Fund to provide comforts for British troops on campaign and support for their families at home. Sullivan was prevailed upon to set it to music and it was first sung in public in November 1899. It caught the public mood and was reproduced in many forms. The handkerchiefs were in circulation by March 1900. Local newspapers carry advertisements from wholesalers and retailers around the country all promising to donate a portion of the profits to the fund. Advertising in the Bradford Daily Telegraph 8 March 1900 one vendor described them as the latest novelty a work of art further suggesting that they could make a useful present everybody pleased with them. An Exeter draper excitedly advertised another delivery in the March 28 issue of the Western Echo. They seem to have sold for between twopence and threepence each. Map unknown

1899ref. 7074London: The Printing Arts Company 1899. FIRST EDITION THUS oblong 8vo pp. 12. Printed in full colour throughout. Stitched with red white and blue string in the original wax-paper printed envelope. Wrappers a bit spotted envelope torn creased and chipped. Kipling released the copyright on this poem so that it could be printed widely for charitable purposes after its first appearance in the Daily Mail. This is one such production ‘produced for the Benefit of the Relief Fund organised by “The Daily Mail”’. It was printed by the Orloff Press using their new process in which ‘All the Colours are printed at once by a Single Impression and at the rate of about One Thousand Copies per hour’ and for each copy sold thruppence was donated. A scarce survival especially the envelope and an early example in the West of the first four-colour wet-ink printing process invented in 1892 by Ivan Ivanovich Orloff Chief Engineer of the Russian Government Printing Works in St. Petersburg to help print currency and other securities. International rights were acquired by William Ward partner in the chromolithography specialists Marcus Ward and he marketed it heavily in an attempt to move beyond the family firm. However the process was not well-suited to rich colours and Ward’s project failed commercially though the Orloff process remained in its original use printing currency around the world into the 21st century.
