Add to basketThe Works of Rudyard Kipling: The Seven Seas Edition (Volumes I-XXIV) Signed Limited Edition - Copy No. 282 of 1,050 Author: Rudyard Kipling Publisher: Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York Publication Date: 1913-1917 Edition: The Seven Seas Edition. Strictly limited to 1,050 numbered copies, of which this is number 282. Signature: Volume I features the handwritten signature of Rudyard Kipling on the half title page. Bibliographical Note The Seven Seas Edition was originally conceived and published by Doubleday, Page & Company as a 23-volume set issued between 1913 and 1915. However, as Kipling continued to write, the publishers subsequently expanded the collection to encompass a final total of 27 volumes, released periodically over the following decade. This offering comprises the original complete 23-volume run, plus the first of the supplementary volumes, A Diversity of Creatures, published in 1917, bringing the total to 24 beautifully matched volumes. Binding & Physical Description The set is masterfully bound in rich, dark brown/burgundy leather. The craftsmanship is exquisite, featuring: Spines: Traditional raised bands dividing the spine into compartments, which are heavily and elegantly tooled with intricate floral gilt decorations, alongside gilt-lettered titles and volume names. Boards: The covers are ruled in gilt with elaborate corner pieces and feature a striking gilt-stamped central medallion of an elephant-a classic motif deeply associated with Kipling's time in India. Edges & Pages: Top edges are brilliantly gilt (t.e.g.), while the fore and bottom edges are left uncut (deckled), preserving the traditional, high-quality feel of early 20th-century fine pressings. Clean, crisp typography on premium watermarked paper. Included Volumes (Vols. 1-24) Actions and Reactions A Diversity of Creatures Captains Courageous Departmental Ditties, Barrack-Room Ballads, Etc.
