LAWRENCE D.H.: (1885-1930) English Author. An original pencil drawing, apparently a self portrait in the hand of Lawrence, depicting the bearded writer in a semi-profile head and shoulders pose. The drawing is executed in bold pencil on the verso of a sheet of 4to paper bearing a colour printed letterhead to the recto and address at Taos, New Mexico. Accompanied by a T.L.S. by David Nash of Sotheby`s, one page, 4to, New York, 19th May 1964, to Karl Haffenreffer, explaining that the book department of the London office of Sotheby`s have provided him with the information requested concerning the D. H. Lawrence self portrait, commenting `It appears that on May 27th. 1963 we sold a pencil self portrait which we attributed to D. H. Lawrence. It was a part of lot 268 in this sale, and was described as follows:…included in the lot is a pencil self-portrait by Lawrence, and two photographs, three of the letters are published in the Collected Letters…..This description seems to agree with the one that was offered to you.` Some heavy discoloration to the page, evidently caused by previous framing, and some light age wear to both the sketch and letter, again caused by previous framing. G, 2 Lawrence lived at Taos, New Mexico from 1924-26 at the Kiowa Ranch, now known as the D. H. Lawrence Ranch. He acquired the property in exchange for the manuscript of Sons and Lovers.

Kipling states that he has received his correspondent`s letter suggesting an article for the Companion and adding `Now that I have seen some of the mothers of the youths who read the paper I may perhaps be able to come nearer to its demands.` The author continues `I find in my notebooks the story of a young apprentice in the repairing shops of the….great Indian railroad. We will suppose he is 18 or 19-sketch the life of the railway community and a railway town in India (Bengal)` further explaining that it will illustrate the differences between American and Indian life, and that he would prefer to write 3500 words. In concluding Kipling thanks his correspondent for a Jungle life series and remarks `I am doing a set of tales on the same subject more or less for St. Nicholas : giving the jungle people`s views of man kind.` Together with a small 4to printed caricature of Kipling by Thomas Nast, neatly mounted to a 4to card to which there are various black ink additions and an inscription at the base, `To Wm. H. Rideing, with compliments of the season`. A letter of fine literary content, not least for its reference to The Jungle Book. Some heavy discoloration to the edges of the letter and caricature caused by previous framing, only just affecting the text but not signature.

The tales in the book, featuring the characters Mowgli, a young jungle boy, Baloo, Shere Khan and Rikki-Tikki-Tava among others, are fables using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons.
