Songs for Youth (1924)
Illustrated by Leo Bates
On the left, we show a rare copy of the 1924 Edition of Songs for Youth, as illustrated by Leo Bates and produced by Hodder and Stoughton Limited (London).
This example retains the original decoratively gold-stamped cover - one of the numerous variant bindings used for the 1st Edition.

The 1924 illustrated Edition of Songs for Youth is a selection of poems from Rudyard Kipling.
For this title, Bates prepared a suite of 8 colour illustrations - depicting themes explored in Kipling's verse in a manner
that is most complementary to the text.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in homage to the hand-crafted
approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.
Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-on plate and the images are presented on Ivory card
stock with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.
Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.
Of course, should you wish to discuss some customised options, we welcome your contact on any matter through
ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images from Leo Bates.
