“As a virtuoso in verse [Kipling] had more than one style at his command” (Baugh et al., 1505), from earnest cockney dialect to soaring prophetic proclamation. This handsome three-volume collection presents all of Kipling’s poetry—including such memorable works as “Mandalay,” “Gunga Din” and “If”—set in Baskerville type and printed on handmade paper at the Chiswick Press. With frontispiece portrait of Kipling in Volume I, signed in pencil by the artist, Francis Dodd. Livingston 545.
