Beschreibung

X pp + 192 pages with 42 woodcut illustrations by John Tenniel, original dark red/maroon cloth with gilt motif of Alice on front board and the "Cheshire Cat" on the back board, small piece lost from base of the spine, repaired. Original charcoal endpapers with AEG (all edges gilt), cloth shows some discolouring and marks, and gilt borders rubbed a little, a bookseller label inside front board for "W. C. Chewett & Co, Booksellers. 17 & 19 King St, East, Toronto" and a back paper label for "Burn & Co, Kirby St, E.C, London" an almost invisible ink insc on dark endpaper "C. R. N Malone" contents VERY CLEAN and hardly read, no thumb marks or smudges or smells. Octavo. 1868. *NOTE: The Canadian bookshop label would indicate this is a very early arrivee in this country as the first entirely Canadian publication wasn't until 1980. 5000 copies were printed of the 1866 first trade edition and a further 2 thousand in 1867. This 3rd or 4th printing constituting 11 thousand copies appeared 2 years after the first. It seems a lot of copies! (a 5th of a stadium of football supporters) and it is in fact a very small number certainly compared with present day numbers for a first edition. AND with few survivors in their original cloth. RARE early printing of the London Alice. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers A877
