Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

A scarce first edition of The Story of the Gadsbys, part of the legendary Indian Railway Library series, issued as No. 2 in 1888. Published by A.H. Wheeler & Co. in Allahabad, these slim, ephemeral volumes were sold for just one rupee and aimed at British passengers traveling by rail across colonial India. Uniquely blending prose and verse in a dialogue-drama format, this title stands apart from Kipling s more traditional short fiction. It follows the emotional entanglements and social maneuverings of British colonial officers and their families, set against the charged backdrop of the Raj. This edition features its original fragile wrappers, with the distinctive pictorial cover illustration depicting a romantic encounter beneath the Himalayan foothills a particularly evocative and rare survival. One of Kipling s earliest published works, The Story of the Gadsbys helped cement his reputation throughout the British Empire. The Indian Railway Library series holds a special place in publishing history, prized today for its literary and colonial significance.…

Descrizione dello Store

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
