Descripción del artículo del vendedor

A highly appealing early illustrated edition of The Second Jungle Book, featuring decorative work and illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling, father of Rudyard Kipling and an accomplished artist and designer in his own right. This edition stands out for its rich visual presentation, including: Striking black-and-white animal illustrations throughout Ornamental chapter initials and decorative motifs characteristic of Lockwood Kipling’s work A particularly strong example of the iconic jungle imagery, including detailed serpent and wildlife engravings that bring the Mowgli stories vividly to life Lockwood Kipling’s involvement elevates this edition beyond a standard reprint, offering a distinct artistic interpretation of Kipling’s jungle world, blending storytelling with late 19th-century decorative design traditions. The volume is housed in an attractive custom decorative binding, with marbled boards and leather spine, giving the book a classic antiquarian shelf presence. An early 20th-century printing of one of Kipling’s most enduring works, capturing the atmosphere and visual imagination that helped define The Jungle Book legacy. 📖 Condition Very Good. Binding: Custom decorative binding with marbled boards and leather spine; moderate to heavy wear to spine with rubbing, flaking, and edge loss; corners worn Interior: Pages are clean and well-preserved with light, scattered foxing; illustrations remain sharp and clear Structure: Binding remains intact and sound Bookplate: Contains a period bookplate on the front pastedown, adding a layer of provenance Overall, a well-preserved interior paired with a worn but character-rich binding, typical of a well-read early 20th-century volume. 🎯 Why This Copy Stands Out ✔️ Illustrated and decorated by John Lockwood Kipling ✔️ Strong visual content with detailed animal engravings ✔️ Early 1905 Century Co. edition ✔️ Attractive custom binding with antique character ✔️ Clean, displayable interior—ideal for collectors who value illustrations.…

Descripción de la tienda

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
