EDITORS COMMENTS
This cigarette card features a caricatured portrait of the renowned English author, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). The front side showcases a playful and cubist-inspired representation of Kipling, with his distinctive bushy eyebrows and a quill pen in hand, alluding to his status as a prolific writer. The back side of the card reveals an illustration of Kipling's famous works, including "The Jungle Book," "Kim," and "Just So Stories," which have captivated generations of readers with their rich storytelling and imaginative tales. Born in India in 1865, Kipling's upbringing in British India influenced much of his writing, which often explored themes of imperialism, adventure, and the natural world. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 for his contributions to children's literature, making him the first English language writer to receive this prestigious honor. This charming cigarette card, dated 1926, offers a glimpse into the history of Kipling's literary legacy and the enduring appeal of his works. Whether you're a fan of Kipling's children's tales or his thought-provoking short stories and poetry, this collectible card is a delightful addition to any literary enthusiast's collection.
