EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, immersing us in the world of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. The illustration, created by none other than Kipling himself for the first edition of his book published in 1902, depicts a pivotal moment in one of his beloved tales: "How the Rhinoceros got his Skin". The attention to detail is remarkable as we see an English gentleman standing beside a majestic rhinoceros. The character's attire reflects the turn of the century fashion with a tailored suit and top hat, contrasting against the ruggedness of both man and beast. The rhino's horn stands tall and proud, symbolizing its strength and power. Kipling's artistic talent shines through this illustration as he captures not only physical features but also emotions. We can almost sense tension between man and animal - perhaps representing mankind's struggle to tame nature or our desire to understand it. This print serves as a testament to Kipling's literary genius and his ability to transport readers into imaginative worlds filled with adventure. It reminds us that literature has always been intertwined with visual artistry, enhancing our understanding and appreciation for stories like these. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate historical artwork, this print is sure to captivate your imagination while paying homage to one of literature's greatest storytellers.
