1912 portrait by E.O. Hoppé.
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was one of the most popular English writers of the late nineteenth century, largely known for his stories and poems about the British colonies in India and related stories for children, along with the rather unfortunate coining of "the white man's burden."
