Stewart 29; Richards 39.</p><p>From the library of Edmund Gosse with his bookplate on the verso of the front wrapper. Inscribed & signed on the first page "Edmund Gosse from J.A. Symonds". "Gosse was happily married for over 50 years and had three children but did acknowledge to John Addington Symonds around the time Symonds was working on A Problem in Modern Ethics that he was attracted to men thus confirming the suspicions Symonds had voiced earlier. 'Either way I entirely deeply sympathize with you. Years ago I wanted to write to you about all this' Gosse wrote to Symonds 'and withdrew through cowardice. I have had a very fortunate life but there has been this obstinate twist in it! I have reached a quieter time--some beginnings of that Sophoclean period when the wild beast dies. He is not dead but tamer; I understand him & the trick of his claws.' Gosse had love affairs possibly not consummated with a school friend John Blaikie and the handsome young sculptor Wiiliam Hamo Thornycroft.After Symonds' death Gosse burnt all of Symonds' letters and diaries and papers that had been bequeathed to him."

In the 1920s and 1930s after burning through his father the poet and children's author Eugene Field's genuine estate his son Eugene "Pinny" Field II teamed up with the Chicago bookseller Harry Dayton Sickles to "enlarge" the late poet's library. In order to manufacture instant provenance for otherwise ordinary books they reproduced Eugene Field Sr's original bookplate oddly not present here wrote signed inscriptions to Field Sr. signed his name and "Chicago" and the date of either 1893 or 1895. They were very fond of forging Kipling's signature. Latest research suggests it was Sickles who was the forger Field the willing accomplice. Note on front free endpaper "Signed by Kipling" apparently someone was fooled.</p> . The Century Co. unknown

19009720London c. 1900. Second Anglo-Boer War souvenir handkerchief 45 x 45 cm printed in blue ink on fine linen a couple of trivial spots blank verso. Set in the borders of a map showing the contested regions of South Africa chiefly Orange Free State and Transvaal is the text of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Absent-Minded Beggar' with the music of Arthur Sullivan. The map is further adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Field Marshal Lord Roberts who was commander of British forces in the field between December 1899 and December 1900. It was published by the Daily Mail then a relatively new but highly successful British newspaper: established in 1896 its circulation had soared to over a million - the largest in the world - by the war's end in 1902. Kipling presented his poem to the Mail which established a charitable fund soon known as the Absent Minded Beggar Fund to provide comforts for British troops on campaign and support for their families at home. Sullivan was prevailed upon to set it to music and it was first sung in public in November 1899. It caught the public mood and was reproduced in many forms. The handkerchiefs were in circulation by March 1900. Local newspapers carry advertisements from wholesalers and retailers around the country all promising to donate a portion of the profits to the fund. Advertising in the Bradford Daily Telegraph 8 March 1900 one vendor described them as the latest novelty a work of art further suggesting that they could make a useful present everybody pleased with them. An Exeter draper excitedly advertised another delivery in the March 28 issue of the Western Echo. They seem to have sold for between twopence and threepence each. Map unknown
