First illustrated facsimile edition of Kipling's poem The Absent-Minded Beggar, a souvenir specially printed by The Daily Mail. Quarto, original wrappers, six pages with two pages of facsimile stanzas, cover portrait of Kipling by John Collier. Printed as a single folded sheet forming six printed pages in triptych format. The souvenir marked the 100th performance of Sydney Grundy's The Degenerates at the Garrick Theatre on Friday 24th October 1899, when Lillie Langtry (who was playing Mrs. Trevelyan in the production) recited Kipling's poem The Absent-Minded Beggar from the stage after the final curtain. The proceeds of the sale of the poem benefited the wives and children of the reservists. In very good condition. Interior illustration of "A Gentleman in Kharki" by R. Caton Woodville.
