A MONOCHROME LITHOGRAPH 'THE ABSENT MINDED BEGGAR', signed by Rudyard Kipling and the artist Caton-Woodville Jr
The artist Richard Caton Woodville produced this illustration to accompany Rudyard Kipling's famous poem 'The Absent minded beggar' which appeared in an 1899 'The Daily Mail' supplement. It was written to help raise money for the dependents of soldiers fighting in the Boer War (1899-1902). The fund, known as the 'Absent Minded Beggar Relief Corps', eventually raised about £250,000.
