Description:
An exceptional early American edition of Rudyard Kipling’s The Seven Seas, the companion volume to Barrack-Room Ballads. This collection of sea poems captures the rhythm, courage, and global reach of the British Empire at its zenith, earning critical and popular acclaim in both England and America.

This copy is beautifully preserved, with the gilt design on the spine and cover still luminous — a rarity for this title. The 1904 ownership inscription adds provenance and character. A strong collectible example, suitable for exhibition or fine private libraries.
