Hardcover. Condition: Used. The 1912 Édition de Luxe Printed on Handmade Paper and Limited to 500 Copies KIPLING, Rudyard. Collected Verse. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1912. A striking vellum-bound Édition de Luxe of Rudyard Kipling?s collected verse, printed on English handmade paper and limited to only 500 numbered copies. This is copy number 366, issued as part of Hodder & Stoughton?s luxurious deluxe edition and preserved in its original full vellum binding with gilt decoration and handmade paper watermarked throughout with Kipling?s distinctive hooked-cross emblem. Combining private press aesthetics, imperial literary culture, and early twentieth-century luxury book production, the volume stands among the most attractive collected Kipling editions of the period. Edition & Physical Description Large octavo, approximately 10.8 × 8 inches. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1912. Édition de Luxe limited to 500 copies printed on English handmade paper. This copy numbered 366 on the limitation page. Printed by T. & A. Constable, Printers to His Majesty, at the Edinburgh University Press. Bound in full vellum with yapped edges, gilt title to upper cover and spine, and decorative emblem gilt-stamped to the front board. The handmade paper bears a repeating watermark device throughout the text block. The limitation page is signed on behalf of Hodder & Stoughton, as issued for the edition. The edition was publisher-authenticated rather than signed by Kipling personally. Originally issued with vellum ties. The ties on the present copy have been neatly removed or cut, and the volume no longer fastens shut. Kipling and the Height of Imperial Literary Fame By 1912, Rudyard Kipling occupied a uniquely dominant place within English-language literature. Already the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature and among the most internationally famous writers alive, Kipling had become inseparable from the literary imagination of the British Empire itself. His poetry moved fluidly between military ballad, imperial myth, children?s literature, political warning, and meditations on duty, power, exile, and civilization. The collected verse editions of this period were conceived not merely as reading texts, but as monumental literary objects intended to preserve Kipling?s work in a form appropriate to his international stature. The present edition reflects precisely that ambition. Handmade Paper and the Deluxe Book Tradition The Édition de Luxe belongs to the broader early twentieth-century revival of luxury bookmaking and private press sensibility. Printed on English handmade paper and issued in full vellum, the edition consciously evokes older European traditions of fine book production while adapting them for the modern collector?s library. The tactile qualities of the handmade paper, the broad margins, the vellum covering, and the restrained gilt decoration all contribute to a distinctly ceremonial physical presence. The result feels less like an ordinary trade edition and more like a monument to literary reputation. The Hooked-Cross Emblem The small hooked-cross emblem appearing on the binding and as a repeating watermark throughout the handmade paper deserves historical clarification. At the time of publication in 1912, the device functioned as an ancient symbol of good fortune and auspiciousness associated with Indian, Buddhist, and broader Eurasian visual traditions. Kipling adopted the emblem during his years in India, where it carried entirely positive spiritual and cultural associations. In the present context, the symbol is wholly pre-political and unrelated to its later twentieth-century appropriation. Its appearance throughout the handmade paper is especially striking, turning the volume itself into a deeply personal and symbolically unified literary object connected to Kipling?s lifelong engagement with India and imperial culture. Binding Original full vellum binding.…

8vo (119 x 184 mm). Irregular pagination (gathered from various source volumes), overall 246 ff. Full chocolate crushed morocco, stamp-signed by the binder. Pictorial onlay of three monkeys in antelope brown morocco, outlined in gilt. All edges gilt. Custom endleaves. With the binder's matching morocco pull-off case, gilt-lettered and blind-stamped with a monkey vignette. A unique, hand-made collection of Kipling's verse, with a custom binding by the acclaimed artist and bookbinder, Mary Chatfield. An elusive figure, her bindings are sought-after rarities. - The poems, including Kipling favourites such as "The Legend of Evil", "Mandalay", and "If", have all been taken from different source volumes and expertly re-cut to the custom binding, with the edges gilt. Aside from variations in the size of the type and irregular pagination, there are no conspicuous hints of this composite origin, as the elegantly crafted volume conveys a harmonious impression, with a hand-written title-page. - Chatfield chose a monkey-motif as the uniting theme of the binding, with three monkeys on the front and rear covers, drawn from the first piece in the volume, "The Legend of Evil": "This is the horrible story / Told as twilight fails / And the monkeys walk together / Holding each other's tails". A vignette of a monkey is also blind-stamped on the outer case. The inside of the upper cover features a beautiful doublure depicting a scene of Mandalay at twilight. - Mary E. Chatfield's work was commissioned by many of New York's eminent bibliophiles and private libraries prior to her tragic early death in 1913. A Southerner by background, her work embraced the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement, born out of protest against the increasing mechanisation and homogenisation of the artistic world. This unique and beautiful hand-crafted volume expresses these ideals well. - It is unknown precisely how many bindings by Mary Chatfield are in existence, but every work by her is unique. - Some rubbing to outer case, a couple of minor discolourations to cover, corners very lightly worn, otherwise very good. A very small number of minor marginal tears, one page with light pencil markings, otherwise insides clean and crisp, excellent condition. - From a European private collection.…

Watt and Son, literary agent of Rudyard Kipling.Throughout this copy of collected verse, Kipling reworked the order, layout, contents and the occasional wording of the poems. Some of the changes to wording, such as substituting "hansoms" for "traffic" in the final verse of 'The Broken Men', made the final version of the poem, however others, such as changing the name "Mary Pollock" to "Margaret Pollock" in 'The Derelict', did not, showing Kipling's thought process in his editing.Annotations include: A line through the publisher on the title page.
