.Very attractive and rare Oriental Edition of Kipling's Indian Tales with illustrations by L.J Bridgman and others. A particular feature is the portrait fronticepiece which has a clean intact tissue guard.
This is undated but is a 1910 reprint of the 1899 edition.
This appears only lightly read if not unread.
The decorated boards are in excellent order. There is some softening to the spine head and tail and the bottom corner is rubbed. No significant wear or marks. It is protected in mylar. There is no dustjacket.
There are no marks or inscriptions to the pages. However, there is an ink dedication dated 1916 to the first front endpaper. The text block is clean and bright with only a light age tone to the internal edges.
Externally it is bright and clean with a gilt top edge and uncut pages.
In short, a very nice example of this unusual edition.
