EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration by the renowned author Rudyard Kipling, taken from the first edition of his beloved book "Just So Stories" published in 1902. The artwork depicts a scene titled "How the First Letter was Written" featuring the enchanting tale of Taffimai Metallumai carved on an ancient tusk. The image transports us back to the turn of the century, immersing us in a world where English literature and storytelling were at their peak. Kipling's intricate illustration captures our imagination as we witness Taffimai etching her story onto this remarkable artifact. The tusk itself becomes a canvas for communication, with its surface transformed into a pictograph that tells tales of long-lost civilizations and forgotten languages. This visual representation exemplifies how art can transcend time and language barriers, allowing stories to be shared across generations. As we gaze upon this early 20th-century masterpiece, we are reminded of Kipling's genius as both writer and illustrator. His ability to bring words to life through vivid imagery is truly awe-inspiring. This print serves as a testament to Kipling's enduring legacy in literature and artistry. It invites us to delve into his imaginative world while appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship captured within this historical piece.
