Description
Allahabad, India): Printed at the Pioneer Press, 1888. First edition, first issue with no periods after "No" & "Library" & no cross-hatching on the barracks-door on the front wrapper. Issued as the first number of A. H. Wheeler's Indian Railway Library series. Stewart 28. Presentation copy, inscribed by Kipling on the front free endpaper to his first love & former fiancee, (Violet) Flo Garrard: "F. G. from R. K. Jan: 90". Kipling was twenty-five years old at the time & had been in love with Flo Garrard, then a student at the Slade Art School, for eleven years. "He idolized her as a Pre-Raphaelite heroine . . . Where and how often Flo and Rudyard met was their own secret. He was faithful to her image for five or six years at least, and hard-hit when he met her long afterwards. When he was ordered off to India, he begged her to consent to an engagement - he was then sixteen and she seventeen or eighteen. . . . Eighteen months after his departure from London, about July 1884, Flo Garrard wrote to put an end to the engagement." - Carrington, The Life of Rudyard Kipling, pp. 42-43. In Dec. 1885, Kipling wrote to Margaret Burne-Jones: "In the course of your wanderings do you ever come to know anything about the Slade Art School and the students there - the female ones I mean of course - There is or was a maiden there of the name of Garrard - Flo Garrard and I want to know, how she is and what she is doing - I want you as quietly and as unobtrusively as possible to learn all you can about the girl - am at my wits end for news . . . - I want only to know if the girl looks well and - so far as your eyes can judge - happy. Thereafter if I can serve you in any way you know who to go to." - quoted by Carrington, p. 56. Kipling returned from India in October 1899 & early in 1890, Kipling's affection for her ". . . was revived . . . by a chance encounter in a London fog, described in The Light That Failed. . . . There can be no serious doubt that Dick's pursuit of Maisie is based on Rudyard's of Flo Garrard . . ." - Mason, Kipling: The Glass, The Shadow & The Fire, pp. 50, 92. Kipling's gift of the Indian edition (the English edition was also published in 1890) to Flo Garrard must date from the time of their reunion. Wrappers expertly and archivally repaired, back wrapper scuffed, otherwise a very good copy in a full red morocco pull-off case. 8vo, original pictorial wrappers. Wrappers expertly and archivally repaired, back wrapper scuffed, otherwise a very good copy in a full red morocco pull-off case.

Description
Hvidore: s. n., 1928. Softcover. Original, silver gelatin, photographic postcard of the Empress sitting on a padded bench in her garden, holding an umbrella and a bouquet of flowers; 5 x 3 1/4; minor wear to corners and image; a bit of age-toning and a manuscript note in pencil to verso; near fine condition. Signed in ink: "Maria, Hvidore" in the lower half of the photo. Possibly one of Maria Feodorovna's last photographs, the anonymous note on the back stated: "The Empress sent me this not long before she passed away at Hvidore." Empress Consort of Russia Maria Feodorovna (1847 – 1928), christened Dagmar, was the wife of Tsar Alexander III and mother of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, whom she outlived by ten years. The second daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Cassel, she was bethroted to Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia, but after his death from meningitis in 1865, Maria honored his last wish and married his younger brother, the future Alexander III. She converted to Orthodoxy and became Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna of Russia. With Alexander II's assassination in 1881, she and her husband were crowned Emperor and Empress of Russia. After Alexander III's death in 1894, she became Dowager Empress and her son Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra were crowned the new rulers. The outbreak of the Revolution in 1917 forced her to travel to Crimea, where she received the devastating news that her sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren had been murdered. She refused to believe it and declared it a rumor. Although the monarchy would be overthrown, she would not leave Russia until 1919 - first to London and, eventually, to her native Denmark, where she would settle in Hvidore (a former country house near Copenhagen). Maria died on October 13, 1928, at the age of 80, having outlived four of her six children.
