EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard features a portrait of the renowned English author Rudyard Kipling, drawn by the talented Will Owen. The image, which dates back to around 1900, showcases Kipling in a thoughtful pose, seated in a study adorned with a grand portrait of Queen Victoria on the wall. The regal presence of the monarch adds an air of authority and tradition to the scene, reflecting the esteemed status that both Kipling and Queen Victoria held in British society during this era. Rudyard Kipling was a prolific writer whose works included journalism, short stories, poetry, and novels. He is best known for his tales of Indian life, such as "The Jungle Book" and "Kim," which brought him international acclaim. Kipling's stories captured the imagination of readers around the world, and his vivid storytelling continues to captivate audiences today. Will Owen, the artist behind this exquisite portrait, was an English book illustrator, cartoonist, and artist. He is most famous for his iconic images of the Bisto Kids, Bovril, Lux, and Lifebuoy, which graced advertisements and packaging during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This postcard, however, showcases Owen's ability to create a more serious and refined work of art, highlighting his versatility as an artist. The presence of Queen Victoria's portrait in the background adds an intriguing layer to the image, emphasizing the connection between Kipling and the British monarchy. The combination of these two iconic figures in one frame creates a striking and memorable visual that is sure to inspire and intrigue.
