Books published by publisher New York. Doubleday, Page

Old volume of poems and songs (ditties and ballads), some amusing, some a little bawdy (tame by today's standards) and a little naughty, some of fine-edged political and bureaucratic sarcasm, some lovely, some touching in their capture of the human essence and spirit. Hardcover cloth-on-board binding with "gold" lettering on spine, and a circular impress on the front of a sauwastika (backwards swastika, and a Buddhist symbol of the sun, or life, light, and health) with Kipling's "signature" underneath it. This particular image was used on almost all of Kipling's books published prior to WWII (this one was published in 1913).
