Sullivan, Arthur. (1842–1900) [Kipling, Rudyard. (1865–1936)]. The Absent-Minded Beggar: Silk Souvenir Booklet. Printed in green ink, with a portrait of Kipling on the cover in brown ink. Ca. 1899. 5pp., folio (20 X 30.5 cm). "Presented to Mrs. Langtry on the occasion of the 100th performance of the 'Degenerates' at the Garrick Theatre. For permission to use Mr. Kipling's poem, Mrs Langtry has made to the 'Daily Mail' a contribution of 100 Pounds for the benefit of the wives and children of the reservists fighting in South Africa." Copyright of the Daily Mail Publishing Co. A little browned and creased, but otherwise in nice state.
The booklet contains all four verses of the poem in a facsimile of Kipling's handwriting, and with a facsimile of his signature at the end. There is also a large picture of a soldier, shown looking to the right, holding a bayonet and with his helmet on the ground next to his feet, entitled "A gentleman in Kharki," by R. Caton Woodville, dated 1899.
The song represents the only collaboration between Sullivan and Kipling, in a fund-raising effort for Boer War relief. The song was printed in several formats, of which the present is perhaps the most attractive and unusual.
