This is a very fine copy of the best printing of the work, numbered and signed by Detmold.…

First edition, sole impression. A report on the publication in the New York Times for 5 December 1903 stated that "the edition is strictly limited to 500 copies for England and America". This portfolio is a magnificent presentation of the Detmold brothers' celebrated book illustrations. Reviewing the London exhibition of the original artwork, the Manchester Guardian commented that the Detmolds "are able to prevent their work from ever sinking to the level of mere illustration". The reviewer enthused that "the drawing of the Monkey People in the Cold Lairs who 'were not thinking of Mowgli's friends at all' is full of character, subtle observation, and invention. The figure of Bagheera in 'Mowgli and the Red Flower' has something of that beauty which hath terror in it. Baloo and Nag, Kaa and Akela the lone wolf are brought before our eyes in a singularly convincing and engaging form". Manchester Guardian, 5 November 1903. Folio. 16 coloured chromolithograph prints on thin card (sheet sizes: 330 x 430 mm.) tipped onto white board with grey window mounts (mount sizes: 393 x 545 mm.) with cover sheet to each illustration providing the title and a short extract from the book.
