Hello everyone!! Question for you all, I just picked up a huge lot of Ephemera from the late 1800,s early 1900,s and this poem was in there. I know nothing about Ephemera so maybe you can give me some idea on what this is worth if anything. Thank you in advance.
Probably little to none. It's his most famous poem and was widely reproduced. What's the size. Nothing on the back? Debora
frame it, put it on your wall..and read it every day .... aspiring to it's lofty goals... only then will you know , exactly what it's worth !
Hi Debora, It's 10 1/4" x 7 1/2" reverse is blank, heavy paper, came with the lot that I bought, tons of interesting hand written letters and some nice letterheads from railroad companies. Most of it is dated late 1800,s early 1900,s. Gonna be fun going through it all.
I have no room on my walls, covered with sports memorabilia. Like I said, Ephemera not my thing. Although after reading this a couple times I may make room.
Great fun indeed. Hope you share other items from the lot. Sounds interesting. As to If, do check out eBay's Completed Listings. There is some interest in reprints of Kipling's poem, but mostly when framed. Debora
It's powerful. My first exposure to IF was at the rehearsal dinner for my brother's wedding, 1967. Dad read it to the assembled folks, himself in tears the last third of it. I now have a framed copy hanging where I can refer to Kipling again an' again through the course of my days. IF, indeed!
